This has been proposed several times in the past and each time Bjorn and
I have agreed that we'd rather not merge that change. I think the
original is clearer and allows the code to be more easily extended.

I don't know if there's a way to "whitelist" certain drivers or sub-
systems where these kinds of changes are known not to be desired. Or
perhaps there's some way to trick coccinelle into not recognizing this
particular instance.

Then again, it seems wrong to have to work around over-ambitious
semantic patches...
