staging: document that the wifi staging drivers a bit better
The Linux wireless developers don't want to hear anything about the staging wireless drivers, for a wide range of miopic reasons. The following patch, based on a patch from Johannes Berg, tries to document this issue a bit better. Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

+I'm hesitant to add a TODO file here, as the wireless developers would
+really have people help them out on the "clean" ar9170 driver that can
+be found at the linux-wireless developer site.
+
+But, if you wish to clean up this driver instead, here's a short list of
+things that need to be done to get it into a more mergable shape:
+
TODO:
- checkpatch.pl cleanups
- sparse cleanups
- port to in-kernel 80211 stack
- - proper network developer maintainer
+ - review by the wireless developer community
