[edk2-devel] [PATCH 3/3] Maintainers.txt: mark EmbeddedPkg hw drivers as bsolete

[Leif Lindholm]

A bunch of legacy drivers (most not compliant with UEFI driver model)
added for various ARM development platforms are still in EmbeddedPkg,
which was arguably the only possible location for them before
edk2-platforms was added.

DwEmmcDxe, Isp1761UsbDxe, Lan9118Dxe, and Lan91xDxe all use a
Pcd*BaseAddress mechanism making them *fundamentally* incompatible
with the UEFI driver model, and preventing use of more than one device
instance per system.

SataSiI3132Dxe *looks* like a proper UEFI driver, but would need
re-review with that in mind for moving to edk2-platforms.

Mark these as Status: Obsolete in Maintainers.txt to at the very least
indicate that they are not suitable references.
