The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on
in the market.

The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O
and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an
obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody
would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and
have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it.

We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed
and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken
already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either.

It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor
cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years.

Move it to staging and then to /dev/null.

The headers remain as they are shared with dpt_i2o.

The imx-drm driver was put into staging mostly for the following reasons,
all of which have been addressed or superseded:
 - convert the irq driver to use linear irq domains
 - work out the device tree bindings, this lead to the common of_graph
   bindings being used
 - factor out common helper functions, this mostly resulted in the
   component framework and drm of_graph helpers.

Before adding new fixes, and certainly before adding new features,
move it into its proper place below drivers/gpu/drm.

Add staging board base support to allow continuous upstream
in-tree development and integration of platform devices.

Helps developers integrate devices as platform devices for
device drivers that only provide platform device bindings.
This in turn allows for incremental development of both
hardware feature support and DT binding work in parallel.

Two separate pieces of board staging functionality is
provided to ease per-board staging board support:
 - The board_staging() macro allows easy per-board callbacks
 - The board_staging_dt_node_available() provides DT node checking

Tested on the KZM9D board with the emxx_udc staging driver.
