Shared framework code that implements the HDMI Consumer Electronics Control protocol, which lets TVs, set-top boxes, and other HDMI devices send remote-control and power commands to each other over the HDMI cable. Actual hardware drivers for CEC-capable chips live elsewhere and call into this code.
This is not actually a driver directory; it is the common HDMI-CEC support library that individual media and GPU drivers build on top of. It is core infrastructure rather than something tied to a specific piece of hardware, so the keep/remove question does not apply to it.

codex reasoning notes (technical)
Not a driver directory: contains the HDMI-CEC core framework/library code for media drivers, not hardware-specific device driver implementations.
