My intention is not to resend this 1/2 again. Sorry for that.
We already had some discussion on [v17 1/2], https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/26/430
And there we didn't conclude that raw_read()/writes(). 
So I thought that, will send updated driver along with this patch, then will get more information about
The issue on the latest driver review.
There is nothing like keep on sending this patch, As you people are experts in the driver review, 
if this patch is a hack, then we will definitely fix that in controller driver. I will find a way to do that.

But in this flow of patch sending, if the work I did hurts you, then I am really sorry for that.
Will fix this issue in the controller driver and will send the updated one.
Could you please let me know if this is OK.

I will send the series as threaded one from next time onwards.

Thanks,
pcieNaga Sureshkumar Relli
