Duh.

I note you removed the obsolete suggestion which
is probably more valuable then updating the TODO.

Updating the TODO to something like:

Actual bug fixes only, no other changes accepted.
This driver is going to be removed by 4.8 or so

is also probably more valuable than keeping all the
current items and just adding a note that another
driver exists.
