I think I agree with Krzysztof's feedback on the Samsung patch[1], and
that I prefer the existing approach for the Aspeed driver. My reasoning
suggests the existing implementation does the right thing. That said,
the code could be adjusted to use early returns and consistent variable
names, which might make it easier to reason about. I'll consider a
follow-up patch to address that.

Regardless, thanks for taking the time to explore the cleanup.
