The similar OF API is exported for users, although amount of users and their
locations are different. The AtomISP driver is not in the best shape, I agree,
but for now any possible steps to make it better would be good steps in my
opinion. Later we may see if we can do this piece of code differently (IIRC
current way is probably the best taking into account legacy platforms support).
