If you don't send patches to me, how will they ever get merged?  It
seems to me that now that the driver is in the kernel.org tree, no one
is willing to spend the time to get it out of staging.  Note, that
unless it starts to show real progress to get merged out of staging, I'm
going to have to delete it from the tree.

So, someone better step up...
