I agree with you. I will be more careful in the future.
However, I will not re-send an updated version. Development on this 
driver does not seem to be very active. So the proposed fix (2/4) and 
cleanups can wait a few more months.
Feel free to update yourself 2/4 (and eventually drop 1/4 completely to 
avoid the time to re-work it) if you think that it worth it.

Best regards,
CJ
