Having been baited into sending a fix for the incorrect signature cos
the commit message here suggested that this was a dependency fix for
just the driver, I think this should be split into two patches,
especially since the commits fixed by each hunk here are different.

Additionally, looks like you're also missing fixes tags.

Cheers,
Conor.
