Subject: typec: tcpm/tcpci drivers acceptable for drivers/staging in v4.12 ?

Hi Greg,

would you be open to accepting the tcpm [1] and tcpci [2] drivers into
drivers/staging for v4.12 ?

The drivers are not ready for prime time, yet there is interest by others
to have them available and to help improving the code. I could create a
repository/branch at github to enable that, but drivers/staging seems to be
a better approach.

Thanks,
Guenter
