The pwc driver author asked for it to be removed. It no longer has a
maintainer nor anyone who wants to support it. Until then it will
remain outside of the kernel tree (and _someone_ needs to actually
submit it for inclusion...)
IIRC, Alan Cox stepped up as a maintainer of the driver, and it's
included in the -ac patchset.
