This patch is extremely marginal. It theoretically improves efficiency,
but it's in a case we don't care about. The code is quite clear.
My general policy for such marginal improvements is to only accept them
from the maintainer him/herself, so I won't be taking this patch.
Of course, if you produce a series of fixes to the driver with such a
patch as a cleaner, I'm lazy enough that I'd take them all at once :)
Thanks,
Rusty.
