As I am now taking patches for 4.11-rc1, I figure it is time to just delete the drivers/staging/i4l/ directory now, given that no one has really done anything with it. If people show up that wish to maintain it, I'll be glad to revert it, or if someone really screams in the next week. Otherwise it's time to just move on :) thanks, greg k-h
