Several Linux DRM Drivers Orphaned Due To Developer Health

Several of the upstream Linux Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) drivers have become orphaned due to the unfortunately declining health of their lone driver maintainer.

Noralf Trønnes announced on Thursday that sadly he will no longer be able to maintain the kernel driver code he's been managing for years. Noralf previously stepped down as maintainer of the FBTFT frame-buffer drivers as well due to the worsening state of his fatigue illness. All the best wishes to Noralf as he battles his illness and many thanks from the open-source community for all of his DRM contributions over the years.
