Yes, the interface is supposed to go away because it is fairly useless.  
It's a low-effort task for beginners. Hence many people send out such 
clean-up patches for the various drivers.  If the change is acceptable 
to you, it would be appreciated if you could merge it into the driver.

Best regards
