That's not realistic, it would probably not improve the readability
much. I basically ended up rewriting the driver almost completely
Dave. It's not even a matter of saving my work steps, each of them
involved pulling appart an entire side of the old driver and re-doing
it. 

That's why I said it's better reviewed as a new driver. We have no
other user of it in the tree anyway.

Do you prefer that I submit it as a new driver for that IP block
instead and take out the old one later ?

Cheers,
Ben.
