We can certainly take up the discussion on improving the current port mapper design/implementation. But
that would be more appropriate in a separate thread.

If we observe a kernel API / mechanism which could be wrongly
duplicated between two drivers, and now a new driver comes to town
with C&P-ing this -- why not stopping and thinking before rushing to
get the 3rd duplication upstream?

Yes, this really looks like a huge disaster.

People have to stop doing unique APIs in their drivers, especially
when equivalent functionality exists generically.
