In the long run, I agree.

In the short run... the code is staging quality, so it should be in
staging... and you'll not have to mainain so huge diff. (-20 kLoc).

Agreed, but... I don't see much effort merging 7k/8k patches. And I
believe its better to use code that's already in staging/ to keep
diffs small. Renames are easy with git, and yes, we'll need to do some
moving when code is clean enough.

But that's how staging/ works: all the code there will need to be
moved to the proper places...

drivers/mfd? Yes, we'll have to rename once the code is clean enough.
