I see you have enabled the whole of STAGING to get this driver.
Generally we have not been doing this, but instead fiddling with the
include within the Makefile and Kconfig files.

We are generally including the Makefile and Kconfig files in the
ubuntu/Makefile and ubuntu/Kconfig files and commenting them out from
the staging ones.

apw at dm$ grep staging ubuntu/Kconfig ubuntu/Makefile
ubuntu/Kconfig:source "drivers/staging/rt2860/Kconfig"
ubuntu/Kconfig:source "drivers/staging/rt2870/Kconfig"
ubuntu/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_RT2860)            += ../drivers/staging/rt2860
ubuntu/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_RT2870)            += ../drivers/staging/rt2870

See commit f3a63abff03643d708c09ab654f0865533498d1d for an example of
all the steps.
