This is very trivial work, and only little time is wasted in case of duplication. It is unavoidable. (For example, looking at the detect functions of scsi drivers I happened to come across pas16.c and did a largish cleanup. Hesitate a bit submitting the results, since the driver showed some signs of bitrot - maybe nobody has used it for years - if someone uses pas16, please tell me - let me cc linux-scsi - but today you submit a little patch on pas16.)
