I think it could be a bit of overkill.  The "driver private data context"
part can be seen from a quick glance at the code.  Also, it could be good
to bring out the purpose rather than just what the code does.  So "save
inflight_counter in a a local variable" could be better, because it
focuses on the idea of saving some information for later use.  Good job on
figuring out the formatting problem.
