IMO if there is a need to have this driver changes upstream, then it is good
enough test as it is the best that can be done at this time. We can always fix
the bugs or extend to new use-cases in the future.

Since it is merge window next week, it is quite late now. But sometimes
Rafael picks up additional patches late. So please post v3 even if there
are no changes with my reviewed-by and Robbie's tested-by so that I can ask
Rafael to pick it up.
