Thank you very much for your review, but is it mandatory to drop pdata in this particular patch set? To be honest this driver needs serious upgrades and refactoring, and I have no dedication to invest my time into refactoring it, moreover, I am not a maintainer of this driver, nor a full time kernel maintainer of any kind. I am doing what I am doing only because one of my devices uses this als but it is not something crucial.

Best regards,
Svyatoslav R.
