Thanks for catching that. The driver is undergoing some significant
restructuring as a result of changes in design to the low-level driver
for the P9 side of things (actually doing the communication with the
OCC). Depending on how extensive the changes are (haven't had time to
finalize), this patchset could be abandoned and I'll start again.
Thanks for the feedback so far.
