A question about staging driver like pi433

Hi all,

I have a question about staging driver. I'm a newbie kernel developer
and I tried contributed some patches for staging drivers. In those
staging drivers, I'm interested in pi433 and wrote some patches for it
about 2 years ago. and then I tried to go deeper for that. I tried to
buy pi433 device but I can't. It seems that no longer available. 

In this case, pi433 should be removed from source tree?
If not, It's okay to send patches for it?

Thanks,
Sidong

Why would it be removed if people still use it?
If not, It's okay to send patches for it?
Please do!

thanks,

Yeah, I thought there is no user using this device. I realized that it
was bad idea.

Is there no one using this?  That's kind of hard to determine, and is
a problem we have at times :(

I contacted the hardware developer in personal. And He replied positive.
I would get the pi433 device soon. It would be nice that It can be
tested in practice.
