That's not the "normal" development process at all, where did you read that? staging is only for code that needs lots of work, and almost always merging a driver through staging takes _more_ work from the submitter than it does to submit it through the "normal" subsystem. So if you want to do more work, hey, by all means, send it here :) thanks, greg k-h
