I will submit next version with the above changes. Note that I didn't bother reading the whole driver, just focused on the exec_op() implementation. Please look at what other drivers are doing before posting a new version and don't hesitate to ask questions if there's something you don't understand. We are already at v17, and unfortunately, the driver is IMO not ready to be merged :-/.
