Yes, this is the nice control portion.
 From reviewing the patches, I didnt see how the core to the driver was
using the  learning_sync. IOW, how do i turn off the drivers sync
from being activated? Maybe you are doing this in the rocker patches
which i didnt review? i think this needs to be core infrastructure i.e
if you are doing this in a timer (as opposed to interrupt driven), then
the core sync timer would kick in and call some driver ops.
In any case, details that can be ironed out later..

cheers,
jamal
