Does anyone actually use that config?  Is it a "real" device?

It has a long effort to be cleaned up properly before it can get out of
drivers/staging/, it's not a matter of just moving it to a new
directory.  It is in staging for a good reason :)

Again, are these even needed now that the cuttlefish build target is
present?  Who is even using these drivers?  Why has no one worked on
cleaning up the upstream code in the past few years?

thanks,
