I added a patch with basically this code to my test tree. I will try to convert
and test a few more drivers, but that will probably be Friday. If the conversion
goes well then I plan to post a pull request by Friday or Saturday with somewhat
cleaned up patches.
I strongly suspect that for the 2-3 weeks after that I will not be able to
continue with this, so I hope others will take over from me.
Regards,
Hans
