The point is that it moved to the staging tree now, where further
development will take place. After a while, there won't be an
out-of-tree version anymore because all development happens in the
official kernel git tree.
An example of this is intel: there's several kernel trees around with
intel drivers, but no possible way to build intel drm out of tree.
