It's ended up somewhat big and ugly, so to start with I've tried to optimise for ease of review - based on the typical "fixes, cleanup, new development" order the split of the current patches is like so: * Group validation rework (patches #1-#15) - Specific drivers with functional issues by inspection (#1-#7) - Specific drivers where cleanup changes were non-trivial (#8-#11) - Common patterns across remaining drivers (#12-#15) * Capabilities rework (patches #16-#18) * Giant bonfire of remaining boilerplate! (patch #19) If the overall idea is acceptable then a more relaxed merge strategy might be to look at landing the common parts first (#16-#18 and maybe #13), then rearrange the rest into per-driver patches, but I'm sure nobody wants a ~70-patch series out of the gate :) Thanks, Robin.
