I understand your concerns about that. I've started that way (just
moving code) but this ended up messier because of the naming convention
which would required renaming and more diffstats. I found it actually
easier to review the new code at once by reading all the addition block.

Note that we are very close from 4.10, so unless there is a major issue
in the patchset, I'd prefer not to respin new versions. I'd gladly send
cosmetics fixup later though. I'm waiting for this patchset to land in
net-next to send the second one ready for cross-chip bridging in DSA.

Thanks,

Vivien
