I have to admit that I am not sure that enabling staging drivers by default is a good idea. Staging drivers can be highly unstable, and can potentially damage hardware. I can totally imagine less experienced users with one of these devices building the current code and then being confused why their hardware is detected but is totally broken, or worse becomes damaged. I agree that we should be periodically ensuring the modules still compile, but I think that by default they should need to be explicitly enabled by a developer who knows what he/she is doing and understands the ramifications/risks.
