There may be a small overlap, but I'd much rather fix the abuse than
actually leave it in there much longer. The fixup patch has been cc'd
to the blackfin maintainer, so any breakage will be minimal (and will
also be clearly marked, it isn't as if the driver will just fail to
work; there is a clear error being printed and it will gracefully
exit).
