Agreed.

Good, it's important that you get all your changes to the staging tree
before the next merge window.

I'm not sure if there's a need to send a full patchset anymore? We are
so close now anyway and the full driver is available from the staging
tree, at least that's what I will use from now on when reviewing wfx.

What about the Device Tree bindings? That needs to be acked by the DT
maintainers, so that's good to submit as a separate patch for review.
