Absolutely, I always try to test on a variety of architectures to root out odd stuff, and have a pile of miscellaneous hardware. Certainly helps find those odd bugs.

But I see there is still a driver of mine in the kernel that I no longer have the hardware for and probably no one else does, from ten years back which may well not work (I did keep up with various subsystem changes for some years), but it could certainly do with being deprecated now.

Feel free to send a patch that moves that driver to staging. As the author of the driver, you are the most adequate person to submit this change.
