If you are porting drivers and need to remove tydpefs you can use
this to help you port the driver faster. Until we don't have a fully
correct and complete way to do this through Coccinelle spatch we
might as well help developers porting drivers with something. spatch
also has a learning curve, people working on staging may not end
up using it for a while.
How come this script never made it to the kernel tree?
General lack of interest?

Probably the same reason that similar patches didn't.

Scripts like these are sure handy when dealing with the crap in staging tree. Maybe we can convince Greg to take them in.
