The patch makes sense, but I would like to see more before merging:
 - more verbose commit message to help users and the next developer 
   works on this. It also should have proper grammar and be a complete sentence.

 - update to the documentation files for this driver.

 - add a release note if needed.

 - does this fix a bug? does it need a Fixes tag.
