I'll be glad to move the driver to their subsystem if you think it's a the better place. Basically there are two reasons why I send the driver to the staging directory. The first one is because my test environment is a bit limited, with my environment I can only test the HDMI to DisplayPort pass-through mode so the driver builds but it's partially tested. The second one is that I expect I'll need to refactor some code, specially in slimport_tx_drv.c file to be accepted, I decided not change too much this file from the original to not break the functionality, so I thought that will be better send first to the staging driver to have first reviews. > All staging drivers need a TODO file, listing what needs to be done and > who is in charge of it.
