Maybe that might want to wait until after 5.10-rc1 is out, with all of these changes in it, making it an easier move. thanks, greg k-h

Yes, the driver needs to be reviewed in linux-wireless list. I recommend submitting the whole driver in a patchset with one file per patch, which seems to be the easiest way to review a full driver. The final move will be in just one commit moving the driver, just like patch 7 does here. As an example see how wilc1000 review was done. Device tree bindings needs to be reviewed by the DT maintainer so CC devicetree on that patch. But do note that there's currently one new driver in review queue, so it will most likely take some time before wfx is reviewed.

Maybe I could try to make things easier. For my submission to staging/ I had taken time to split the driver in an understandable series of patches[1]. I think it was easier to review than just sending files one by one. I could do the same thing for the submission to linux-wireless. It would ask me a bit of work but, since I already have a template, it is conceivable. Do you think it is worth it, or it would be an unnecessary effort?

And besides, splitting the driver like that would be a huge job for you. I don't think it's worth your time in this case. And making changes in the driver during review process becomes even more complex.

Some of these are unpublished checks that I haven't published because
they are too crap. The rest of the email is just long explanations.
Skip if not required.

From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@silabs.com> I think the wfx driver is now mature enough to be accepted in the drivers/net/wireless directory. There is still one item on the TODO list. It is an idea to improve the rate control in some particular cases[1]. However, the current performances of the driver seem to satisfy everyone. In add, the suggested change is large enough. So, I would prefer to implement it only if it really solves an issue. I think it is not an obstacle to move the driver out of the staging area. In order to comply with the last rules for the DT bindings, I have converted the documentation to yaml. I am moderately happy with the result. Especially, for the description of the binding. Any comments are welcome. The series also update the copyrights dates of the files. I don't know exactly how this kind of changes should be sent. It's a bit weird to change all the copyrights in one commit, but I do not see any better way. I also include a few fixes I have found these last weeks.
