Nobody started working on it yet.

The driver conversion shouldn't be that hard. The main problem is that
those devices are really obsolete hardware and none of the current V4L
developers have those boards for testing. Do you have any of those
devices? Can you help porting it to V4L2?
I don't have any of the hardware. I was just doing some work on
Kconfig and noticed that a bunch of drivers had gone missing. I see
now that a lot of the drivers in media/video have the same problem. I
guess V4L1 is going to be with us for a while longer since all of
these drivers need to get ported.
