SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 0/3] Add NVIDIA Tegra114 support to video decoder driver

I believe the stateless API is quite in place now, but I only see maintenance on
this staging driver. I don't believe it really make sense to keep maintaining a
staging driver without any step forward de-staging it. I believe it gives the
wrong message on the Kernel staging purpose.

I'm not criticizing your effort, I believe you are doing nice work for you
community, but would prefer to see this driver be ported to the official kernel
APIs rather then being maintain as staging till the end of time.

regards,
Nicolas
