After all the trouble you have had with your patches, I would expect you to
use more care when composing the commit message. Note the typo in the
paragraph above.


OK, the nasty games continue and the message is not getting through.

An appropriate response by a maintainer would have been to request I
revise the code according to the way it has currently and elegantly
revised in.

I am NOT a maintainer for this driver. I do have an interest in it, but not in any official capacity.

If you cannot accept constructive criticism, you are in the wrong activity. Please grow up!
