Humpf. Unrelated to the set, when did qlge grow devlink support?!

Coiby, do you still use this HW?

It looks like the driver was moved to staging on account of being
old and unused, and expecting that we'll delete it. Clearly that's
not the case if people are adding devlink support, so should we
move it back?
