Well, this didn't end up as an entire waste of my time. After that
message I sent a patch to Fedora's kernel list, and a reminder a few
months later[1]. That prompted Josh Boyer to remove this old driver from
the Fedora build[2].

And now that driver is disabled in all kernels that Fedora currently
ships. I'm not familiar with any complaints about this decision.
