As documented in drivers/staging/Kconfig: STAGING means "that these drivers are under heavy development" and "may contain userspace interfaces that most likely will be changed in the near future." As explained in Documentation/gpu/rfc/xe.rst: " Xe driver will be protected with both STAGING Kconfig and force_probe. Changes in the uAPI are expected while the driver is behind these protections. STAGING will be removed when the driver uAPI gets to a mature state where we can guarantee the ‘no regression’ rule. Then force_probe will be lifted only for future platforms that will be productized with Xe driver, but not with i915.

I agree with the idea, but I was expecting a few more hits: $ git grep "\bSTAGING\b" -- '*Kconfig' drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/Kconfig: depends on STAGING drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/Kconfig: depends on STAGING drivers/staging/Kconfig:menuconfig STAGING drivers/staging/Kconfig:if STAGING drivers/staging/Kconfig:endif # STAGING drivers/staging/vme_user/Kconfig: depends on STAGING && PCI drivers/staging/vme_user/Kconfig: depends on STAGING && VME_BUS Are we doing something wrong here? Documentation/process/2.Process.rst talks about drivers under staging/ directory rather than drivers depending on CONFIG_STAGING.
