Hi Stephen,

I think that the right thing to do is to disable the building of this
staging driver, if it is not using the current media core API's.

Greg,

If possible, I prefer to merge those staging drivers for the media
subsystem via my tree, as it helps me to solve in advance conflicts
like that. Maybe we could add a drivers/staging/media tree or
drivers/media/staging, and move those beasts to there.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Mauro
