I do see that there are few places where this pattern is used and atleast
some of them should be straight forward conversion.

I will follow this up in separate patch series. I suspect that this
might take little bit of back and forth, so will follow with fuse
changes in parallel and open code there. Once this series gets merged
will send another patch for fuse.
