The original vendor drivers were:
- rt2860
- rt2870
- rt3070
- rt3090

Each weighting ~100 KLOC.

The current staging drivers (rt2860 w/ RT3090 support and rt2870 w/ RT3070
support) are the result of my work on getting staging drivers under control
(+ trying some new strategies of dealing with ugly code) and weight ~75 KLOC
_together_ (they share the wireless stack code).

Could somebody please explain me (in the public or in the private) what is
the reason behind whole affair about staging drivers because all the time
I feel like I'm missing some important detail here.  It would a lot more
productive than all the things that I could hear about my agenda, my work
or my intellectual abilities in the past.

[ Like I said before I got only interested into them in April this year
  while doing casual staging cleanups and I'm not affiliated with any
  distribution vendor. ]

Thanks.
