Subject: [PATCH] NFC: Orphan the subsystem

Samuel clearly hasn't been working on this in many years and
patches getting to the wireless list are just being ignored
entirely now. Mark the subsystem as orphan to reflect the
current state and revert back to the netdev list so at least
some fixes can be picked up by Dave.

Good to know.

But Samuel was active like year ago and he is still at Intel, right?
Perhaps he can appear last time here to Ack this?

Not AFAICT and yes. I guess you can reach out to him internally, you're
probably closer to him than I am, org-wise? :)

I meant to do that for many months now but did not find time to push it
to the top of my TODO. Thanks.
