Hi Quentin, >>> The Espressif ESP8089 WiFi chips can be often found in cheap tablets. >>> There is one in A23 Polaroid tablets for example. >>> >>> The chip is often embedded as an eMMC SDIO device. >>> >>> The code was taken from an out-of-tree repository and has seen a first >>> pass in the cleanup process. >>> >>> At the moment, there is no publicly available datasheet for this chip. >>> >>> Cc: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> >>> Cc: Icenowy Zheng <icenowy@xxxxxxxx> >>> Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> >> Staging drivers need a TODO file that lists what has to be done to the >> code to get it out of staging.

When I had a brief a look at your patch, it didn't look like staging material to me.
