Please keep all staging code self-contained within your drivers/staging/
directory.

For the dt stuff, as that has been acked, it can go into the "real"
locations.  But for the include and sysfs documentation stuff, that all
needs to stay within your directory.

Can you respin this series based on that and resend?
