New here

Hi, I'm a new applicant for this 2020, newbie programmer too. For me is the
first time participating in a large project like this.

While reading kernelnewbies wiki, it says: 'drivers/staging contains both
drivers that are on their way into the kernel and those that are on theirway
out of the kernel.' How to know which of them are in their way out? I tried a
git grep, but maybe there is a better way to know it. Thank you!

Perhaps you could tell with git if there is a file move.

But don't worry too much about it.  If you do something that is not useful
for this reason, Greg will tell you.

You can use git log to check whether there has been much activity of a
file recently.  If so, it's probably fine to work on the file too.

I'll do so. Thank you, Juila!
