It's supposed to be set by architecture code to prevent SFF controller
attach if it's in legacy mode.  There apparently is no user left.
Trying to find the last user... it seems it hasn't been unused for at
least two year.  I guess it can be removed then.

Thanks!

Not unless this is cleared with the FRV maintainers who were using
it and I believe may still need it.

Mr Howells ?
