The Octeon usb driver has been in staging for a long time and used in
Ubiquiti routers for a while now.
It's been built and then tested on real hardware with several usb devices
and it is proven to be stable and ready to be moved to its proper place
in the kernel tree.
Move it to drivers/usb/host and adjust its Makefile, Kconfig and defconfig
dependencies.
Many thanks to the developers who made it happen.

In <db3b9e990e75573402cda22faf933760f076c033> ("Staging: VME: move VME
drivers out of staging") the vme code, board and bridge drivers were
moved out of the staging tree, remaining only the VME user device
driver.
Since this driver is the only one remaining in staging, such multi-level
structure confuses more than helps. The current structure is as follows:
- drivers/staging/vme/
Makefile
devices/
Kconfig
Makefile
vme_user.c
vme_user.h
The top-level Makefile has the only function of calling another Makefile
into the devices/ subdirectory. This latter only compiles the vme_user
driver, since there is no other in the staging tree.
This patch removes the unnecessary Makefile from the 'vme/' dir, move
the contents of 'vme/devices' into the 'vme/' dir, and renames it to
'vme_user/' (the driver name), allowing a straightforward understanding
of this driver's contents. Furthermore, it updates the MAINTAINERS file
to properly reflect the new paths.

The Unisys sub-tree of drivers/staging contains three drivers for the
"Unisys Secure Partition" (s-Par(R)): visorhba, visorinput, visornic.
They have no maintainers, in fact the only one that is listed in
MAINTAINERS has an unreacheable email address. During 2021 and 2022
several patches have been submitted to these drivers but nobody at
Unisys cared of reviewing the changes. Probably, also the
"sparmaintainer" internal list of unisys.com is not anymore read by
interested Unisys' engineers.
Therefore, remove the drivers/staging/unisys directory and delete the
relevant entries in the MAINTAINERS, Kconfig, Makefile files, then
remove also the drivers/visorbus directory which is not anymore needed
(it contained the driver for the virtualized bus for the Unisys s-Par
firmware).

This driver was a added a time ago and there is no special effort or work
to clean it and any progress at all to mainline it. Also, there is already
a driver from Mediatek in 'drivers/dma/mediatek/mtk-hsdma.c' which looks
pretty similar to this. So the way of supporting HSDMA for mt7621 would be
to modify that driver instead.

It seems that the old developer is no longer with the company producing
this device, and the company has no plans on getting this out of the
staging directory at all, so let's drop the driver for now as it's
pretty much abandonded.
If someone want to support this and get it out of staging, we can easily
revert this change and bring it back.

walk all map elements in a more robust and easier to verify
fashion
- sockmap: support UDP and cross-protocol BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT
redirection

The comedi code came into the kernel back in 2008, but traces its
lifetime to much much earlier. It's been polished and buffed and
there's really nothing preventing it from being part of the "real"
portion of the kernel.
So move it to drivers/comedi/ as it belongs there.
Many thanks to the hundreds of developers who did the work to make this
happen.

As stated in f54ec58fee ("wimax: move out to staging"), the wimax code
is dead with no known users. It has stayed in staging for 5 months,
with no one willing to take up the codebase for maintance and support,
so let's just remove it entirely for now.
If someone comes along and wants to revive it, a simple revert of this
patch is a good place to start.

As none of the proposed things that need to be changed in the gasket
drivers have ever been done, and there has not been any forward progress
to get this out of staging, it seems totally abandonded so remove the
code entirely so that people do not spend their time doing tiny cleanups
for code that will never get out of staging.
If this code is actually being used, it can be reverted simply and then
cleaned up properly, but as it is abandoned, let's just get rid of it.

Now that the dpaa2-switch driver has basic I/O capabilities on the
switch port net_devices and multiple bridging domains are supported,
move the driver out of staging.
The dpaa2-switch driver is placed right next to the dpaa2-eth driver
since, in the near future, they will be sharing most of the data path.
I didn't implement code reuse in this patch series because I wanted to
keep it as small as possible.
Also, the README is removed from staging with the intention to add
proper rst documentation afterwards to actually match was is supported
by the driver.

Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 5.11-rc1
Lots of different things in here:
- loads of driver updates
- so many coding style cleanups
- new IIO drivers
- Android ION code is finally removed from the tree
- wimax drivers are moved to staging on their way out of the kernel
Nothing really exciting, just the constant grind of kernel development :)
All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will
be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there
have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these
have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether.
As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining
networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly
run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.
NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the
www.linuxwimax.org
site had already shut down earlier.
WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks
("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old
Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the
only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.
Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header
files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets
to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order
to make it possible to port patches across the move.
Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing
list and website.

Instantiate build infrastructure WFx driver. This driver provides support
for Wifi chipset Silicon Labs WF200 and further:
https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/data-sheets/wf200-datasheet.pdf
This chip support SPI and SDIO bus.
SDIO interface has two particularities:
1. Some parameters may be useful for end user (I will talk about
gpio_wakeup later).
2. The SDIO VID and PID of WF200 are 0000:0001 which are too much
generic to rely on.
So, current code checks VID/PID and looks for a node in DT (since WF200
targets embedded platforms, I don't think it is a problem to rely on
DT). DT can also be used to define to parameters for driver. Currently,
if no node is found, a warning is emitted, but it could be changed in
error.

EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year.
EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage
space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files
with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression
and decompression inplace technologies.
In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as
a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our
internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service
HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable
enough to be moved out of staging.
EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are
still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team
actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better
with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems.
As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git
can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way.
Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as
a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!

The UWB and wusbcore code is long obsolete, so let us just move the code
out of the real part of the kernel and into the drivers/staging/
location with plans to remove it entirely in a few releases.
