Greg, I now created an immutable branch for moving wfx from drivers/staging to drivers/net/wireless/silabs: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless-next.git wfx-move-out-of-staging The baseline for this branch is v5.18-rc1. If you think the branch is ok, please pull it to staging-next and let me know. I can then pull the branch to wireless-next and the transition should be complete. And do let me know if there are any problems. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
