How about you show me a snippet of what you propose it to look like, i.e.
send me a patch that changes layout.h to your proposal (no need to change
the rest of the driver yet). I am willing to have a look but I am not
promising to like or accept it. If I find it sufficiently non-revolting I
will let you know and I would then accept a patch that switches the whole
driver but no promises!
Best regards,
Anton
