The VME subsystem graduated from staging into a top-level subsystem in
2012, with commit db3b9e990e75 ("Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of
staging") stating:
The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API
questions they are still working through, that should happen soon,
hopefully.
However, this never happened: maintenance of drivers/vme effectively
stopped in 2017, with all subsequent changes being treewide cleanups.
No hardware driver remains in staging, only the limited user-level
access, and I just removed one of the two bridge drivers and the only
remaining board.
drivers/staging/vme/devices/ was recently moved to
drivers/staging/vme_user/, but as the vme_user driver is the only one
remaining for this subsystem, it is easier to just move the remaining
three source files into this directory rather than keeping the original
hierarchy.

In <db3b9e990e75573402cda22faf933760f076c033> ("Staging: VME: move VME
drivers out of staging") the vme code, board and bridge drivers were
moved out of the staging tree, remaining only the VME user device
driver.
Since this driver is the only one remaining in staging, such multi-level
structure confuses more than helps. The current structure is as follows:
- drivers/staging/vme/
Makefile
devices/
Kconfig
Makefile
vme_user.c
vme_user.h
The top-level Makefile has the only function of calling another Makefile
into the devices/ subdirectory. This latter only compiles the vme_user
driver, since there is no other in the staging tree.
This patch removes the unnecessary Makefile from the 'vme/' dir, move
the contents of 'vme/devices' into the 'vme/' dir, and renames it to
'vme_user/' (the driver name), allowing a straightforward understanding
of this driver's contents. Furthermore, it updates the MAINTAINERS file
to properly reflect the new paths.
