if you want i can break it into multiple patches, so that reviewing can be easy and your script will not break :) .
Actually I thought, since this is a vendor crude driver there will be many such changes, so if i can combine some changes together then atleast the number of patches can be kept low and also i thought of clubbing these changes together as Joe Perches once told me "Don't get carried away with patch type separation" (reference: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/1/2).
