I think it was initially requested upstream that we get the crystalhd
driver out of staging before including even more new hardware support. But
then Broadcom's support sort of faded and the hardware became mostly
obsolete due to everyone going the nvidia/vdpau route. I ran out of time
and energy to care much about the crystalhd driver, unfortunately. :\
