The mess in the drm tree has nothing to do with the staging tree.  It has
happened because the merge of your gms500 changes into the drm tree
interacted with other changes in that tree and the interactions were not
fixed in that tree.

You did read my error report from today, didn't you?  The build failure
was in drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/psb_drv.c.  The warnings indicating other
unfixed interactions were in drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/framebuffer.c.

As far as I can see, building the gma500 driver in the drm tree (on its
own) will fail.
