Jose changes its value from 1 to 3. Is that change really needed? What > happens if you leave it just 1?

(this should be the gold standard for all patches, anyway) I don't mean to make things complicated, its just that the patch in question seems to make many changes all at once and lacks clarity for the reasons why those changes are being made. Please break this up into a patch series of smaller changer so that we can analyze each change separately, we will merge those which do not cause issues with other hardware right away, leaving only the bits that need further discussion unmerged. Consider the loop thru change from 1 to 3 NACK'd for now, until a better explanation can be provided. Please leave that off the series unless it is absolutely necessary, or you can provide better documentation of it.
