Ah, sorry - this is one of my first attempts at contributing to the
kernel, and as such I of course fully defer to you. In case I was
misunderstood, I was just trying to explain my line of reasoning at
the time, which is what I thought you asked for in your previous
message. Thank you for the explanation, I was not aware of the high
cost of renaming defines.

I will send a V2 if this is all?

Thank you for your time :)
Best regards,
