Did you consult with anyone about this?  Did you talk to the
maintainer for the driver that uses this functionality (he's not on
the CC: for this patch series).  Did you actually do any testing to
validate that it didn't break anything?

This might indeed be a piece of functionality that can possibly be
removed, assuming you can answer yes to all three of the questions
above.
