Staging is not a shortcut around having things reviewed or broken out
logically. It's of course fine to merge the bulk of things in one go for
when a new architecture is going on, but logically disparate parts still
need to be broken out and sent to the proper places for review. It's
obvious you haven't done this for any of the non-arch bits and hiding
things under staging is not going to make this step any less necessary.

If you want your framebuffer driver reviewed, then split it out and
submit it to the linux-fbdev list for review. Once that's had a going
over and been Acked then of course it can be merged through whatever tree
you like, and there's even a good chance that you don't need to bother
with staging at all.

Using staging as a review circumvention measure however is just not going
to fly.
