The cs89x0 is probably hosed right now.  There were merge conflicts to do 
with softnet and I haven't had a chance to resolve them yet.

As to why it's marked obsolete, I haven't a clue.  I'll try to find out.  
Shark isn't by any means the only platform with this chip and I don't want to 
lose it either.
