Nothing wrong with these patches, however I intend to post a patch to
remove this driver soon, so it's kind of a waste of your time to spend
too many cycles on it.

It might be useful to mark any drivers you're
planning on removing as "Obsolete" in MAINTAINERS.

checkpatch will then emit a "don't waste your time"
message if anyone scans an obsolete driver/file.

I see, wasn't aware of that. I did add a printk to it for 4.6 notifying
users that the driver was going to go away.
