In some driver which is by the way staging one.

The mentioned driver should be cleaned up as well (and perhaps to start with).
It allows us to rectify constants in global namespace.

So, from my point of view the driver code is ugly in a sense it
doesn't have its own namespace for constants.

After we fix the driver, the rest would be whatever we get agreed on.
