It is being maintained, updates are pending.

Don't delete it. Work is being done. This was supposed to be a primary
repository for work, and it is the basis for spin off BSPs. There was
a handoff issue between Wind River and Xylinx .. but I don't have all
the details.

And it's something that I'll be carrying forward and pulling kernel
patches into linux-yocto on the next kernel bump.

I'll do the simple updates to the README and put it in the layer index.

Cheers,

Bruce
