The main reason to go via staging is because a driver is sitting out
of tree and it is useful to bring it in on the basis that it can then be
cleaned up in tree before moving out of staging.

For a relatively small driver like this, that's hard to argue.  Just
clean it up in response to review feedback and then we can take it
directly into relevant subsystems in the main tree.
