No-one here is questioning the worth of a driver rework which improves the
code structure. I'm
pretty sure that Adrien's comment about a revert was meaning only a
temporary revert, until the new
driver is ready to handle all the hardware which worked with the old one,
in case that will take a
while longer. So this is really not about throwing your work away, just
giving it more time so
people don't have nasty regressions on their Haiku machines.
The closest I have an IvyBridge here (and 0 time for patches right now) so
feel free to give it a shot:
