This is typically necessary as you would not want the comment fixes above to be
backed out if the functional changes below were found to be buggy and reverted.
This is why we encourage small functional changes. It protects against
inadvertent reverts and facilitates review.

That said, these comment changes continue below in a way that makes it a bit
difficult to isolate them out, so I do not particularly object.

That said, everyone should understand that Andy is part of the
platform-driver-x86 maintainer team so please respect his comments as such.

In both arguments, we need to identify the WHY.

I imagine Andy is trying to reduce the copy and paste potential for error as
well as error introduction in future patches. There are... 7 or so cases with
near identical usage, that's a compelling argument for a refactor such as the
helper Andy suggests.

Aubrey, you said you don't like it. Why is that? Will it not save enough lines
of code to be worth it? Are you concerned about revalidating the change?

In my opinion, a refactor is a good suggestion, but I would be OK with this
patch as it is and a refactor to follow. I hesitate to do this when the refactor
is really critical as it may not happen, but in this case, it doesn't seem
absolutely necessary.

Why is that? Will the driver fail to provide any functionality? Or could it be
the other IFACEs could still be of some use?

This one does need a justification.
