The main difference is this is the second attempt from a different
person to "clean up" the code.  I'm still not fond of the change, but
I'm getting tied to tell people about that, so just applied the change,
since after all it at least gives some good diffstat.

I would prefer Fabian's patch over yours because it's really good
enough to have one patch than 5 patches in a series to do the change for
IMX platform.
