Yes, it's possible to revive a deadeye, but as far as we know that would require their original knight who broke their bond to reswear their Oaths. But those people are long dead and this can't work with Maya. Adolin swearing Oaths won't revive Maya. 

However, I don't think Adolin is forming a Nahel Bond with Maya, I think he's forming a reverse Nahel Bond. Normally, a spren fills the cracks in the soul of their knight giving them power, this time I think Adolin's soul is filling the cracks in Maya's soul, basically switching the roles. Maya is the knight, Adolin is the "spren" (not literally), Maya is gaining powers in this relationship. During the trial Adolin gave her his strength to talk, something that doesn't happen in a normal Nahel Bond. RoW ch 94:

Quote

Maya’s howls came to a crescendo of anguish, then she fell silent, gasping for breath. Weak. Too weak.
Take it, Adolin thought to her. Take some of my strength.
She looked right at him, and despite her scratched-out eyes, she saw him. Adolin felt something, a warmth deep within him. Maya drew in air, filling her lungs. Her expression livid as she gathered all of her strength, she prepared to shout again. Adolin braced himself for the screech. Her mouth opened.
And she spoke.
[...]
“Though a bond between you is.”
“I’m … no Radiant,” Adolin said.
“No. That is certain.”

Questioner

The dead Shardblades, could you possibly get Stormlight into them to reawaken them?

Brandon Sanderson

Dead Shardblade, could you pump enough Stormlight into them? That alone would not be enough.

Questioner

So you would have to find someone to re-swear with oaths?

Brandon Sanderson

There is something broken on the Spiritual Realm because of the broken oath and simple Stormlight will not fix that.

Questioner

So say--

Brandon Sanderson

If the person were still alive and could re-swear the oath then yes.

Questioner

But someone like [...] could go [...] the Spiritual Realm?

Brandon Sanderson

It is not outside of reason but it would be very, very, very difficult.

Questioner

With Syl being able to be revived, is Adolin ever going to be able to revive his own blade, or--

Brandon Sanderson

Ah, that would be very difficult, because the original-- in most cases, the original person who broke the oath would have to be the one.
