Bug description:
  Modules under the drivers/staging hierarchy get little attention when
  it comes to vulnerabilities. It is possible that memory mapping tricks
  that expose kernel internals would go unnoticed. Therefore, do not
  sign staging modules so that they cannot be loaded in a secure boot
  environment.
