Now it makes sense :) I still had not time to review the full series (only took a look on Claudio comments). Still, I'm not sure adding a whole adapter driver just to remove it later on the same series is worth the trouble. Looks like you are fixing an issue introduced on the same series. Is it possible for you to rearrange the series so it is not necessary to introduce the adapter driver? If not, please improve the patches commit messages to explain why it is introduced (and the known problems), and that it is removed on a later patch. This helps a lot tracing regressions later.
