Hello,


This is the first attempt to publish the Freescale DPAA B/QMan drivers. They are
not to be applied yet.  At this stage, this is more or less the drivers from the
Freescale PowerPC SDK roughly squashed and split in a sequence of component
patches. They still needs some work and cleanup before we expect to have them
applied, but we appreciate early feedback

First off, why put these in staging?  What's keeping them from being
merged "properly"?

Secondly, if they are going to go into staging, then I need a TODO file
in the directory of the driver listing what needs to be done to move the
code out of staging, and who is responsible for the code.  Ideally a
MAINTAINERS entry as well.

And finally, staging drivers should be self-contained, your .h files:

 include/linux/fsl_bman.h                        |  517 +++++
 include/linux/fsl_qman.h                        | 1955 +++++++++++++++++

Need to be in drivers/staging/<DRIVER_DIR>/ not in include/linux/
espeically as nothing outside of your driver needs these .h files.

thanks,
