Given the numerous cleanup patches that already exist, is there any reason
to not just post the cleaned up drivers ?  It would certainly be more
reviewable than the current pile.

Come to think of it, is there any value in merging the pre-cleaned up
patches ? Why merge 54 patches to mainline when a half dozen will do ?
