We declined a similar fix in the past[1] ...

... with the hopes that a driver could drop the switch statements in place
of using the other pattern.  Also, to be consistent with other drivers that
do this already.

Sure.  I appreciate that this would be more work.  When you send your

original author from [1])?  I would appreciate it.
