You are right.
My patch does not solve the root of the problem.

It turned out not so trivial as I had first expected.

I'd like somebody else to take care of it
because I am not familiar with this driver.

(My first motivation was clean-up sparse reports,
and I thought it was easy to fix it, but it was not.)
