Really?  This looks like copy and paste from core code that defintively
was not written by the Linux Foundation.  In addition this patch comes
from Qualcomm so something very fishy is going on here, which if I'd
call copyrght fraud if I'd want to be be mean.

Please a) stop pointlessly copy and pasting code and b) have a word with
your lawyers on how to attribute code both that your wrote and which has
been copy and pasted.
