For the next pile of driver patches _please_ talk with driver maintainers
before starting to create&submit patches. Like I said I won't take them,
and many of your changes are not clear-cut at all, so I expect many driver
maintaines also won't take them. Again, your contributions are welcome,
but blindly following suggestions from code checkers in drivers you cant
test isn't really all that useful. At the scale you're doing it, I think
it's mostly wasting everyone's time :( I'd like to avoid that.

Thanks, Daniel
