The previous MAX96717 driver has been removed and its functionality has
been moved to a MAX96717 driver which makes use of the Maxim GMSL2/3
serializer framework.

Please use imperative form when describing what the patch does.

This patch doesn't actually remove the driver, same for the next one.

It'd be good to have comments (acks hopefully!) from the authors (and
users) of the existing drivers on how does the new driver work for them.

There's also no need to resend patchsets to get more attention, please just
ping instead.
