Re: [RFC PATCH v3 linux-next] et131x: Promote staging et131x driver to drivers/net

I usually recommend just creating a new patch, that adds the driver to
the proper place in the kernel, and sending that in.  If the subsystem
maintainers accept it, then I can just delete the staging driver.

Yes, this looses the history of the code, but usually no one cares about
that for staging drivers.

If that's not ok, I have no problem accepting this, if I get an ack from
the subsystem maintainers that it's ok, but again, this patch makes it
pretty hard for them to know that or not.

I can see how that works - I'll send a v4 update shorty.

Cheers,
