In fact I think we're facing the edge of the staging driver model : it
works fine for everyone and people are used to use it from there. I'm
absolutely convinced that this is the worst thing to do, but we're in
the situation where doing nothing ensures it continues to work. It was
submitted a long time ago by a user. I was not very happy by this since
I knew I wouldn't be the person doing the clean up, but I understand
that it allows users to have it ready. Since then, there have been
multiple cleanup passes, I'm not even sure if it still makes sense that
it remains in staging now. If some help is needed from my side to move
it to drivers/misc, I'll participate, of course, but I clearly won't
spend a whole week rewriting it differently for example.

So please tell me what you think.

Thanks,
Willy
