I think that's better, yes.

Dave, I plan to review this Friday or Monday. It would help me if you could
post a v3 before Friday so that I'm reviewing the latest code.

It would be great if you can also post your tc358743 patches. I have an RPi
with a tc358743 attached, so it would be very useful if I can review and test
both this driver and the tc358743 changes.

I also have a selfish motive: I want to do a CEC demo next week during the
Kernel Recipes conference with my RPi/tc358743 and your driver. It's nice if
I can use the latest version for that.

Regards,

	Hans
