Why staging?

sent where?  Why not just make a single patch series?

staging drivers have to be self-contained, no files outside of your
subdirectory please.

Once they have "passed" proper review, then you can move files out.

Also, I need a TODO file listing what needs to be done, who to contact,
and other info about the code.

And again, why not just submit this to the real part of the kernel?

thanks,
