We have other (actively used AFAIK) drivers which do the same.
In any case this driver does not use RPM anyway, and in the future,
when Tony finalizes his RPM work those 8250 RPM wrappers should gone.
If somebody implements RPM in this driver, it may be done via standard
RPM calls.

TL;DR: for now it's okay, I am sure.
