The subsystem is media. The drivers for both drivers/media and
drivers/staging/media have the same maintainers. The "staging" is 
just a place where we place stuff that are either not ready for
upstream or are under deprecation.

So, we expect that all subjects start with media:. I prefer if 
they don't have "staging" at the subject, as makes the driver
logs more coherent when they're moved in/out staging dir.
