I would ask to do that for new drivers, but this is is not a new driver.
On top of that, I wasn't included in its initial review. Since I wasn't
involved, I have no idea what shape the driver is in, and for sure won't
review it now (to retain my sanity).

Only comment I have is that using the _with_info API and using devm_
functions might simplify the driver a lot. I'll be happy to do a review
if/when that is done.
