Well, the way it went was I discovered errata after errata. Everytime I thought
this is the last one and I can finally get around to that cleanup, three days
later I would end up working on the next failure.

I've spent so much time on it, I'm sick of it.


So here's the quick mail you want:
"I may or may not be able to clean up this driver in the near future. Felipe
Balbi graciously agress to do it for us. So I am pleased to announce he will
clean up this driver and send it upstream. If he needs any help with this, I
will try to provide it to him (or anyone else for that matter) on a best-effort
basis. Good luck."

If you want help with testing, I can give it to you. If not, you can test
it yourself - I couldn't care less.
