This driver is old and ugly, and it is even possible that no one uses it
anymore, so I guess getting clean-ups without testing is ok for it.
However, in that case the clean-up patches should be reviewable, which I
wouldn't say about your patch :-)

Could you please split it on several smaller patches, each doing one
thing only?
