Is this something mandatory?

As we discussed during first patch-set here [1] with Andrew, we have need of
this patch (along with some other stuffs, which will be sent soon), to clean
up our internal driver and make it ready for upstream. As of today we have
some internal restrictions where we can't make it to upstream along with
this patch.
