Deleting it from staging would not help much. Much more helpful would
be to sync at least the mainline and linux-next version of the driver
so it's easier to develop against these kernel trees. Initially, I
thought -staging means that any reviewed change can quickly make it
to *both* linux-next and more importantly -staging in mainline. Working/
Testing against mainline is much smoother than against linux-next.
