Hmm, IMO this patch is too intrusive to be applied without actual
testing.

I am especially unsure about the drv_data->block removal. Did you double
check if we can do this?

And if so, shouldn't that also be always 1 in the output here?

Maybe (not sure) it also helps to split the patch into everything
dealing with time_left as patch 1) and simplifying by drv_data->block
removal as patch2?
