As long as it is mentioned in the TODO, and ideally in the Kconfig as well,
then I'm fine with it.

The big advantage of being in the kernel is that it is much easier to start
providing fixes, improvements, etc. If you use a staging driver you know
that there is no guarantee whatsoever with respect to stable ABI/APIs.

Of course, but there should be a clear way how to progress on those
issues that are documented as blockers, otherwise the driver will linger
in staging.
Worse, currently we are not even in agreement what to put into the TODO.
