Oh, yes please. I had that on my todo list for after the initial patch 
had landed, but couldn't find the time to look into it once more.

There was another case with one of the other ARM drivers which could be 
cleaned up now, but I can't find it any more of hand.

Anyway this patch here is Acked-by: Christian König 
<christian.koenig@amd.com>.

Regards,
Christian.
