-	  Are you sure you really want to build the staging drivers?
-	  They taint your kernel, don't live up to the normal Linux
-	  kernel quality standards, are a bit crufty around the edges,

-	  Say N here to be able to select and build the Staging drivers.
-	  This option is primarily here to prevent them from being built
