Why is this a drivers/staging/ driver at all?  What is keeping you from
getting this merged into the "proper" place in the kernel?

If you have a staging driver, you have to have a TODO file in the
directory listing what is keeping this in the staging section.

Also, one tiny thing to fix up:

Please read the documentation on how to properly use SPDX tags on kernel
files.  This needs to be the first line of the file.
