This seems like something that should be sent as a bug fix - doesn't it fix anything? If it is a fix then it should've gone at the start of the series so it's got no dependencies and could be sent to Linus for the current release. > While here, move the burst size setting outside of the if/else branches > as they have the same value for both 8 and 32 bit data widths. Though this refactoring probably less so.
