I agree that would make the code easier to understand, but it will be a  
significant impact on the logic of the driver, whereas the current patch is  
relatively low impact. Which is exactly the reason why, yes, I do feel the  
change can at least be put in the -mm series and then migrate if we don't get  
any problem reports.

Thanks, Willem Riede.
