I am, although there still isn't any justification for the pos/lsb
rework in the commit message (and calling that variable lsb is somewhat
confusing). If you are going to apply it, please consider adding
the additional comment below.

"While we're at it, rework the way we compute the trigger bit position 
by
 making it more obvious that when bits [n:n-1] are both set (with n 
being
 the most significant bit), we pick bit (n + 1)."
