This seems to be a misunderstanding. Actually, I don't care too much. If
you like to keep your driver standalone, I don't have objections, even
if Uwe's generic driver is merged. I think there are still valid reasons
not to reduce a driver to a platform data struct.

Greg, what do you say to that?

Thanks,
Hans
