Looks much cleaner to me.

I would guess that in general it makes sense for the core code to do what
you suggest, but the idea is to try to encourage the drivers to convert
to atomic ops rather than give them too many crutches. And the tda998x will
need this for a short period of time until tilcdc converts as well.
