This is fine.

This provides no value whatsoever.

Please resist the urge to fidget and adjust random things, just get to
the point and make the minimum change necessary to achieve a specific,
well defined, constrained, objective.

Please!

I'm really getting irritated with how much effort is being expended
to make dilly-dally style changes that provide little or no value
to the driver.

Fix bugs and contribute new support for new chips, because this stuff
I'm seeing here is just eating up everyone's time rather than improving
the driver.

Thank you.
