Thank you for the pointer. FWIW as per the cover letter I have no own
interest in the driver and offered this cleanup as a general code quality
improvement.

Dennis, please clarify your position, and if you'd rather this change
wasn't made, then I'll drop the patches from my local verification setup
and won't offer them again.
