The original code in Simon's branch has this (c) message so I maintained
it. I honestly don't know whether Simon wrote this patch from scratch or
derived it from Broadcom code.

Given the rework I did, I suppose I should have added my (c) on this
patchset too though; I can fix that up locally before sending the pull
request unless you have objections.
