Possibly... it's really not clear.

This isn't just adding something into a specific driver which fails at
abstraction, it's adding generic code. If it were adding something to
the ice17xx driver then that'd be one thing but look at the subject line
and location of the file... this stuff should be buried inside the
driver if it's too painful to make the driver sane.
