So please help me understand. 1) You want something changed, you propse a (tested) patch which actually changes the code you want. And then be prepared that 2) (at least) the maintaniners of concerned drivers/architectures/subsystems may have some seriuos problems with the direction your patch points to (let alone coding style). 3) Then you update/improve your patch. 4) Goto 1 until the patch is accepted or you withdraw it.
