What? Who knows that? Who cares?

This is doing "one logical thing" to all of the needed files. Your
split of "this is a driver" vs. "this is a subsystem" split is _VERY_
arbritary.

That's just too picky and assumes a subsystem-internal-knowledge much
deeper than anyone submitting a normal cleanup patch would ever know.

I think you have swung too far to the "too picky" side, you might want
to dial it back.
