On that note, perhaps ask for people to shout what they have access
to and we'll see what is left.

Of stuff still in staging I have:
* lis3l02dq (it's there because we probably want to add this part to the
   much more general st-sensors driver rather than moving it out as is).
* sca3000 (still there because we now have a better idea of how to handle
   chips with hardware buffers - route them through a software buffer,
   dropping the explicit trigger as done in the am35x driver last summer).
