The original series to cleanup this driver had some merge difficulties.
This is just a rebase of the patches that had issues, based on
next-20130121.

Turns out the issue was the word "Dieselstraße", the encoding didn't
like the 'ß' character for some reason.  I fixed it up by hand.

Probably because the original file containing the 'ß' was UTF-8, but the patch that removed it was ISO-8859-1. git am (or rather, git mailinfo) will transliterate the commit log part of the email to UTF-8 by default, but leaves the patch part of the email in its original charset (after any MIME transfer decoding). So when git tried to apply the patch there would be a mismatch between the original two-byte UTF-8 sequence and the single-byte ISO-8859-1 sequence in the patch.
