I want to apply the regulator driver so I stop being sent this patch series which will help keep my backlog more manageable. > Traditionally moving drivers out of staging can be done 2 ways: > - all happens in the staging tree, I take an ack from the > subsystem maintainer that this is ok to do. > - A new driver enters the "real" subsystem tree, and then I > delete the driver in the staging tree.

The whole reason the driver is in the staging tree is that Mauro has a requirement to do things in a way that preserves history and so won't send any non-incremental patches. > Which ever works for you is fine with me, but relying on the code to > stay "not touched" in my tree after you pull it almost never happens due > to the number of drive-by coding style cleanups that end up in the > staging tree every week. I'm sure someone can work out the conflicts if they're going to happen.
