Not sure about this. I didn't like any place to put it, so I ended up
putting it here. As it is an implementation detail, I didn't like the
idea of putting it in a header file that contains the driver's API.
I would better like to hear the opinion from the sfc maintainers, but
I don't mind changing it because I'm neither happy with the chosen
location.
