+Subject: Staging: workaround build system bug
+Patch-mainline: 2.6.28
+
+This is needed as CONFIG_STAGING is set to y, yet there is no code in
+drivers/staging/ to build, so the build-in.o doesn't get created
+properly. Create a "dummy" module in drivers/staging called staging.c
+to work around this bug.
