Note, your From: line does not match this line, so I can't take this.

staging drivers need to be self-contained, so this should be here.  It
needs to be reviewed by the DT maintainers when moving out of staging.

Why are these a requirement to get it out of staging?  Why go into
staging at all?  Why not go into the 'real' part of the kernel directly?
What is keeping that from happening today?

These look like new features that you can add later, and shouldn't be a
requirement for acceptance into the normal part of the kernel for this
driver.  Why have you not tried doing that first?
