I've not taken extensive look at interdependent changes in the series but 
while reviewing patch 20/21 I noticed that alienfx_probe() changed there
from:

-       if (interface == WMAX)
-               priv->lighting_control_state = WMAX_RUNNING;
-       else if (interface == LEGACY)
-               priv->lighting_control_state = LEGACY_RUNNING;

to:

+       priv->lighting_control_state = pdata->running_code;

Somehow, it felt odd and then looking this patch 16, it felt even odder. 
Perhaps there's a good reason my review that didn't go deep enough failed 
to uncover but please check if this is an indication that something is a 
miss in the series.
