I sent this out a while ago, an Al has it in a branch, but not in
linux-next:

We do not have to care about staging drivers when removing interfaces.
But to be nice you probably ping the maintainers to see what they can
do.

I also have the mount side handles in this branch which I need to rebase
and submit:

Indeed. As said, I had started on the change and gave up pretty quickly
:)

Ok.
