Always CC the mailing list in case someone has a similar question
later.

Yes.  That's basically the process.

Greg would probably have taken it as-is, if I hadn't said anything.
Maybe he still will if you want.  But going through staging is not
mandatory if your driver is ok from the start.  I don't think
staging is going to help you much.  I've already commented on most
of the style issues.  You need reviews from networking people.

Otherwise for other maintainers you just fix every complaint or send
an email saying why the complaint is wrong.  Resend the patch with a
[patch 1/2 v2] staging: gdm7240: adding LTE USB driver
After the signed off by line put:

Signed-off-by: You
---
v2: cleanup and minor fixes

The same for version 3 and so on.

This is a network driver so you really need to CC netdev and
linux-wireless.  You want to make the linux wireless maintainer,
John Linville, happy by Aug 9 so he can merge it in time for v3.12.
Aug 9 is not much time, so maybe it's a good idea to sit in staging
for one kernel release?
