BTW., don't worry about that aspect too much: after a long debugging session it's
pretty natural to be upset at whoever introduced a regression.

( In fact a number of times I too got upset at the moron who wrote a particular
piece of buggy code, only for 'git annotate' to remind me that the moron was me. )

I personally just ignore the emotional attributes, and I usually edit changelogs
accordingly as well so the temporary state of mind of finding a regression doesn't
trickle upstream.

Plus in this particular case if we can help type propagation for driver data to
become a bit cleaner then the kernel project has gained a bit through all this
pain.

Thanks,
