I have lots of this kind of preparatory work "ready to go" and I'm
eager to get it upstream.  But I'll try to be more patient and wait
to send things out until something justifies the need, rather than
just doing it in support of a longer-term goal.

I would not consider what I'm doing "aligning with the vendor
driver," but maybe I misunderstand your meaning.  The upstream
driver is very different from Qualcomm's driver.  I'm basically
writing all new code now, using the Qualcomm code for reference.

Thank you very much for applying the patches.
