How do you "know" that this is what it is for?

Fixing this type of checkpatch warning is hard, and requires lots of documentation and checking. If you didn't write the code originally, I wouldn't worry about this type of issue at all, it's best for new code, not existing code.

I did go through the code manually, but understand that it might be deserving of more extensive checking and documentation to make such a conclusion.

This patch can be dropped. Let me know if another patch series is needed without this patch included in it.

Thanks, Rachit
