The other, smaller, is the writing registers part. Each family has its own driver. You may have noticed one for 85xx, and one for 86xx. We could create one for 83xx. But till now, there is no other 83xx SoC uses it.

Thanks for the patch. I am not against either way. I noticed the path for out of tree compiling and I didn't see which one is better. I found examples of both. I personally think using $(SRCTREE) is cleaner. Let's wait for others to chime in.
