Thanks for your patch.

But actually, I am kind of annoyed by the constant stream of whitespace
fixing and dead code removal and other trivial changes to this legacy
driver.

It does not improve the code to add two tabs to this _ancient_ code.

And I can already see the next patch coming that removes the dead code
after this FIXME return. And then the next patch will come to remove
this function altogether, and so on and so on.

This driver has a _lot_ of such code, because it is based on reverse
engineered knowledge with many many unknowns.

IMO this just creates additional maintenance work and pressure on our
maintainers for no good reason.
