Oh, I did not know that staging was optional. Well, I will attempt to
skip staging in that case

The code is a driver for the Broadcom BSC, which lives on the Raspberry
Pi 3 & 4 (at least, maybe also on 1 & 2). This device can act as an I2C
slave. To "announce" the device (tell the device tree which pins need to
be configured how, etcetera) I need to change existing dts/dtsi files,
to actually be able to enable the device I need to create a new overlay. 
Finally, the actual driver needs to be created in drivers/i2c/busses. And 
then there is also some makefile, documentation and kconfig.

Does that sound right?

No, thank you!
