commit 3a0db721

    "TTY: serial, move 68360 driver to staging"

did so because the driver had remained broken since 2008.  It also
added this text to the TODO file:

   "If no one steps up to adopt any of these drivers, they will
    be removed in the 3.4 release."

A quick search on the internet doesn't reveal anyone actively
trying to update/fix this driver, so follow through on the above
and remove it from the pending 3.4 release.

The storage driver (storvsc_drv.c) handles all block storage devices
assigned to Linux guests hosted on Hyper-V. This driver has been in the
staging tree for a while and this patch moves it out of the staging area.

James was willing to apply this patch during the 3.3-rc phase and a decision
was taken to defer this to 3.4 since Greg had queued up a bunch of storvsc
patches for 3.4. Now that Greg has applied all of the pending storvsc patches,
I am sending this patch to move this driver out of staging. Based on James'
recommendation, this patch gets rid of the unneeded files in the staging/hv
directory.

A DRM display driver for TI OMAP platform.  Similar to omapfb (fbdev)
and omap_vout (v4l2 display) drivers in the past, this driver uses the
DSS2 driver to access the display hardware, including support for
HDMI, DVI, and various types of LCD panels.  And it implements GEM
support for buffer allocation (for KMS as well as offscreen buffers
used by the xf86-video-omap userspace xorg driver).

The driver maps CRTCs to overlays, encoders to overlay-managers, and
connectors to dssdev's.  Note that this arrangement might change slightly
when support for drm_plane overlays is added.

For GEM support, non-scanout buffers are using the shmem backed pages
provided by GEM core (In drm_gem_object_init()).  In the case of scanout
buffers, which need to be physically contiguous, those are allocated
with CMA and use drm_gem_private_object_init().

See userspace xorg driver:
git://github.com/robclark/xf86-video-omap.git

Refer to this link for CMA (Continuous Memory Allocator):

v2: http://patches.linaro.org/4156/
v3: http://patches.linaro.org/4688/

History:

v5: move headers from include/drm at Greg KH's request, minor rebasing
    on 3.2-rc1, pull in private copies of drm_gem_{get,put}_pages()
    because "drm/gem: add functions to get/put pages" patch is not
    merged yet
v4: bit of rework of encoder/connector _dpms() code, modeset_init()
    rework to not use nested functions, update TODO.txt
v3: minor cleanups, improved error handling for dev_load(), some minor
    API changes that will be needed later for tiled buffer support
v2: replace omap_vram with CMA for scanout buffer allocation, remove
    unneeded functions, use dma_addr_t for physical addresses, error
    handling cleanup, refactor attach/detach pages into common drm
    functions, split non-userspace-facing API into omap_priv.h, remove
    plugin API

In practice, it is being hard to distinguish when a patch
should go to staging tree or to the media tree. Better
to distinguish it, by putting the media drivers at a
separate staging directory. Newer staging drivers that include
anything with "dvb*.h", "v4l2*.h" or "videodev2.h" should
go to the drivers/staging/media tree.

This driver has been broken at least since 2008. At that time,

And since nobody noticed for the past 3 years, move it into staging. I
think this will rot there and we will throw it away completely after
some time. Or maybe someone will volunteer to fix it ;).
