Is you end goal to get this out of staging? phylib vs phylink is not a
reason to keep it in staging.

It just seems odd to be adding new features to a staging driver. As a
bit of a "carrot and stick" maybe we should say you cannot add new
features until it is ready to move out of staging?

But staging is not my usual domain.
