That's a question for Ben (or more generally people who use this
driver.) If Ben knows all the platforms that are using the original
driver and all of them will be instantly converted to use the new
driver then I'm fine with killing the original driver now. If not, then
we must tag the original driver as deprecated and schedule it for
removal in 6 months or so. As we can't have two modules with the same
name, you'd also need to rename the original driver (or find a
different name for the new one.)
