Apparently Quantenna was acquired by ON Semi in 2019[1], and in 2022
they closed it down[2]. Seems pretty abandoned to me.
Thanks Jeff. I do wonder is anyone even using qtnfmac and plfxlc? Maybe
we should just delete the drivers as nobody seems to care about them?

Hi Kalle, Jeff,

that's right, Quantenna division was shutdown by ON. To my knowledge no users of qtnfmac drivers are left after that. I would think removing driver altogether is the right approach. I'm not associated with ON anymore so it's just my personal opinion.

CCing Krystal Heaton who I found on ON "contacts" web page (just in case someone from ON wants to comment if removing qtnfmac driver from Linux kernel is a concern).
