I mentioned it in the cover-letter, I should have put it here too, my bad.

This is meant as a short term solution until proper cleanup is done,
as suggested in:

Does nobody care that the driver is not working right now for some
chips (since it was working before!!) and are willing to wait for more
time until the proper cleanup is done?

For me it is a hassle, because if I need to do something on 3630 I
have to merge this patch, then apply what I'm working into, then
remove the patch, apply everything again to see no dependencies are
there, then send.
