I admit I don't like these names either - however I didn't dedicate
enough time for this patch because I'd like the maintainer(s) to
give notes about my changes unrelated to coding conventions, but
thanks anyway.

If this patch is Right (tm) then I'll repost a better-looking version
of it or let the maintainer(s) implement in the way they see fit.

It might not affect the packing anyway in this case, but I was
paranoid when I tried to fix the driver.

Whoops, shouldn't have removed the comment. I guess I'll re-post
anyway.
