I need reasons for this update.  What changed, and why is what we need
to know.  No "wholesale" upgrade of a file is allowed, you need to break
the changes up into logical pieces, and send them with a proper
description of what happened here.

Also, please cc: and properly credit the original authors of these
changes, and the maintainer of the driver, to give them a chance to
review it.

So, sorry, I can't take these 3 patches unless they are broken up
properly, and I would like to get an ack from the driver
maintainer/author.

thanks,

greg k-h
