One thing already got my attention: we need to prefix all commit messages with e.g. "staging: pvr: " so that they can be distinguished on LKML. I'll prepare that for the next version of our Letux tree.
After thinking about this a bit, I think a shared out-of-tree repo is the best place to start rather than try to stuff a pile of sgx and vendor specific hacks into staging. Currently we don't even know what all needs to be different for various SoCs for example.
And for upstream merging, a minimal generic accelerated 2d sgx driver that works across several SoCs is probably the best place to start. This would make the clock and interrupt handling generic with just SoC specific glue layer.
Regards,
Tony
