No, I do not want to add new features to staging drivers where ever
possible.  I want you to spend your time fixing up the code to be good
enough to get it out of staging, then you can add any new hardware
support you want to it without having to go back and clean up anything
else.

That is one of the requirements of code in staging, sorry.

thanks,
