Pull staging driver tree changes from Greg KH:
"Here's the big drivers/staging/ update for 3.14-rc1
Lots and lots of cleanups, IIO driver updates are also mixed in here
due to the subsystem still crossing staging and drivers/iio/, and the
dwc2 driver is moved out of staging. There's a new driver (rts5208),
which ends up making us adding more lines than removing, but overall
there was lots of work toward moving code out of here, which was good
All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues"

Jani for co-maintainer!
Jani has been a really active bug-scrubber in the past few months.
I've asked him whether he wants to do this in a more official capacity
and he agreed. I've already chatted with Dave and Jesse and they
support this.
Note that everyone can't now just relax because "Jani will do all the
bug scrubbing" - au contraire expect more nagging and poking now that
we have more bandwidth.
Longer-term the plan is to share more of the maintainer duties, but we
need to fix up the infrastructure a bit first (like moving the git
repo to a common location).
While at it also add the newly set-up patchwork instance.

During the last media summit meeting it was decided to move this driver to
staging as the first step to removing it altogether.
Most webcams covered by this driver are now supported by gspca. Nobody has the
hardware to convert the remaining devices to gspca.
This driver needs a major overhaul to have it conform to the latest frameworks
and compliancy tests.
Without hardware, however, this is next to impossible. Given the fact that
this driver seems to be pretty much unused (it has been removed from Fedora
several versions ago and nobody complained about that), we decided to drop
this driver.
This patch moves it to staging. Some time in 2014 we will drop it completely.

After getting warnings in an allyesconfig build[1] from this
driver, I decided to remind myself just how old it was, and
whether it warranted fixing. In the Kconfig help text, I found:
"This driver will eventually be phased out entirely"
Going back to the history archive, I see the line was added[2]
in Feb 2002, when we moved from v2.4.2.1 ---> v2.4.2.2
So, with over a decade of notification, and multiple major releases
since then, I think we can justify removing this. Currently we have
people wasting time building it during routine testing, and then
wasting more time re-researching the known reported warnings, only to
find that nobody really is willing to integrate the fixes[3] for it.
A quick search didn't seem to indicate any active user base for it.
If someone happens to have a quirky _old_ card that the eleven year
old "new" driver doesn't work with, then it is entirely reasonable
that they stick with a kernel version that predates this removal.
