I would first continue deleting unused dead code and definitions from the staging driver. We have already removed maybe 10000 lines of code without a loss of functionality, and I believe there is still more work to do. Then with the remaining code, we could start thinking how to consolidate the stuff with sisfb. Or even with the other fb drivers, I don't think stuff like bpp_to_var is specific to these two drivers. And once xgifb is cleaned up, the partial XGI support would be dropped from sisfb.
