Angus is the author of "Lee's" driver and knows more about it that I
ever will, so whatever he says goes in that regard.

I would like to make a suggestion to Brian though. Even if the new
framework is written within the next couple of months and the
semantics do suit the FSM Controller driver, I'd still like the
implementation that's currently on the list to be applied. That way
we'd have a known good version of the driver which is almost identical
to how ST's internal driver does now. The one that is present out in
the wild (i.e. _real_ products).

I will subsequently volunteer to provide my utmost best efforts to
port the driver over to the new framework as a new task once it has
landed.
