A few minor comments inline.

This set is still huge, so I've only looked at the core code
for this version.  Hopefully driver maintainers will do the thorough
review of how it effects the individual drivers!

I'd add a default in here just to make it obvious anything else is
an error.  Same in other similar cases that follow.

Trivial but one too many blank lines.
