What?  That changelog comment makes no sense at all, as you are patching
the staging version of the driver.  This isn't an acceptable patch at
all.
Agreed
Yes, I have pending patches for this driver in my "to-apply" queue, but
that is for 3.4, not now.

So, how about I just apply those patches, and then apply a patch that
moves it out of staging into drivers/scsi/, and queue all of those up
for 3.4.

James, any objection to that?
Well, we were going to try to stage this driver for 3.3-rc.  If everyone
agrees to push it back to 3.4, then this works for me.
