Your patch does a ton of different stuff and a lot of the changes are
bad.  This patch introduces a bug.  Moves code around for no reason.
Introduces false information into the comments and hurts readability.

Why did you shift the lines around?  It looks ugly and checkpatch still
complains about side effects of re-using x.

I'm pretty sure this is deliberate.  LEN suggests length.  It's not a
bit flag.  Anyway, if you're correct please justify your thinking in
the commit messages.

b stands for bit.  B stands for byte.

Nope.

We don't accept this sort of patch without more testing.

It was basically fine before.  Leave it.

No, this breaks the driver.  Please think about what you are doing.
