Lets look at the technical merits of this work.

It is 5 KLOC of dead code and it should be 1-2 KLOC of working code
(we may turn the blink eye on "working" part but FFS at least fix other
parts)..

Hey, Linus.  We have a new driver for ya.  It doesn't work, has design
problems and is not even half-finished but most wireless folks are fine
with it!

I wonder when things went so wrong here..

This is a waste of time since technical merit doesn't find much love there.

Sorry Dave but you're making me go over your head now and go into unpleasant
mode again..

Looking on how you just reverted cmd64x change which you were so proud while
taking IDE over shows where the real problem is -- in subsystems supervised
by you loyalty and rank is everything while you are busy playing the pointy
haired boss everywhere from arm to ide.
