nit: if/when this driver gets moved out of staging/, it will still have
a commit titled "staging: &&/|| typo?" in its record.

That title will be pretty useless and meaningless for a driver which
isn't in staging!

So I'd suggest that in general, the "staging" information be included
inside [], so it gets tossed away as the patch is applied.

Also, the title is pretty bad in other ways - it doesn't identify what
part of the kernel is being changed.  At least, not with sufficient
specificity.


So a better title would be, say,

	[patch] [staging] wis-sony-tuner.c: fix &&/|| error
