These are entries for specific drivers so they are covered by the
subsystem maintainers. You believe someone will step up, I believe if
these were important for TI, they would find the person some time ago,
so the emails won't bounce... This was similar with BQ chargers where
Andrew's email was bouncing and after a few weeks it was fixed. To me
it looks like TI does not have any priority in maintaining separate
driver entries so what is the point to keep orphaned driver-entry? It
is not the case where we have an orphaned subsystem and we look for a
person to handle it...

Best regards,
Krzysztof
