Huh?
Why not just add this driver to the kernel tree instead? When the "promised" driver then eventually shows up (who is promising it?) then delete the thing.
But until then, why is this needed to go into the staging tree? Is there any other main reason it should be here and not in the "real" part of the kernel?
