I actually wonder if anybody is seriously working on this driver. My concern with the staging drivers has always been that we are quick with merging them when the work on getting them into upstream shape is actually hard. However reality is once they are in staging nobody is doing the work to clean them up and fix the issues.

This one seems no exception. Merged in January and 5 month later none of the TODO items have been addressed. All the promises that we fix the issues in the staging tree went out the window.

Greg, instead of wasting our time with this, can we just remove this driver from staging.

Regards

Marcel
