That's OK with me, but I may then submit a patch on top fairly soon :-)
Have you been able to test if this code works on your device ? The main
reason why I think it's better is that it doesn't hardcode a specific
escape clock frequency assumption, so it should be able to accommodate a
wider range of use cases. If we change it later, there's always a risk
of regressions, while if we do this from the start, we'll figure out
quickly if it doesn't work in some cases.
