This patch got added in the 4.6 kernel release. As I am now taking
patches for 4.11-rc1, I figure it is time to just delete the
drivers/staging/i4l/ directory now, given that no one has really done
anything with it. If people show up that wish to maintain it, I'll be
glad to revert it, or if someone really screams in the next week.
Otherwise it's time to just move on :)
thanks,
