This patch series is for moving the gpib drivers out of the staging area.

As many changes as possible (patches 1-5) are done in the staging area
to prepare for the move. Patch 6 does the move and completes the destage.

Patch 1: Remove gpib from Kconfig and Makefile in staging
Patch 2: Remove the gpib/uapi directory from include search path
Patch 3: In the code change the uapi include file paths to <linux/xxx.h>
Patch 4: Remove comment item in TODO file
Patch 5: Add SPDX syscall note to uapi gpib headers
Patch 6: Complete the destaging of gpib
      - Move the common gpib/uapi headers to include/uapi/linux
      - Move the gpib tree out of staging
      - Delete the word Linux from gpib Kconfig option title
      - Add gpib to Kconfig and Makefile in drivers
      - Update MAINTAINERS

Dave Penkler (6):
  staging: Remove gpib build from staging

Sorry if it wasn't clear, but I meant that you should squash also these
three into the patch moving things out of staging.

So in the end you'd only have these three patches.

I agree, that should be the max of what needs to be here.
