Why did you split this into 12 commits? It is one logical change, and
should be applied in a single clommit.


Ben, if you should accept this stuff, then please squash all these 12
patches into a single commit.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

there's no urgency to fix up all existing drivers.  Hopefully tonight I'll
get to the core changes, then we can fix up all drivers at once to a more
'final' state.
