Yup, that's me using some 'more unusual' English terminology, Perhaps the word
'dropped' would be clearer.

Also, that comment is now a little misleading as it is unusual / undesirable
to now do this in an individual driver. The core demux code should take care
of it.

Hmm.. I'll make a note to reread the comments in that driver and see if any
others could do with a refresh.
