Why the staging tree?

What is wrong with the driver that it needs to go there and not to the
main kernel tree?

Any driver added to the staging tree needs a TODO file describing what
needs to be fixed with it, and who to send the patches to.

Did you write this driver?  If not, please put a "From:" line that shows
who did write it.

thanks,
