>From a quick look, this looks clean enough to not warrant a stop in
staging. Why don't we just queue it up for 3.10, that will give it 3-4
months before it hits a release kernel. So plenty of time to iron out
any kinks in this. It's a driver and completely isolated at that, so I'd
have no problem doing that.
