Pavel, this really seems arbitrary.

Whilst I really appreciate you're looking into this driver a bit because
of some issues you are trying to resolve, I'd like to ask that you not
start bombarding me with nit-pick cleanups here and there and instead
concentrate on the real bug or issue.

Thanks in advance.
