Yes, makes sense. I'm leaving the change in now, because I don't
see a strong reason to undo the change, and the two functions
will likely get collapsed into a single line each after the move
to the phy subsystem is complete.

I'll let Manjunath answer this, I have no idea. My suspicion is that
it was a misguided attempt to work around a checkpatch warning for
an overly long line.

I've reverted the above changes now for v4.

Oh crap.

I checked that Manjunath had fixed this bug in the other drivers, but
missed it here. I updated it for v4 now.

I thought that Manjunath had received hardware for it now, but it's pretty
evident that the patch was not tested. The Ack from Jingoo Han was for an
older version that did not contain the change to .extra_priv_size.
