Thanks, I like the new string better.

All nice changes, thanks Santosh!

Rafael, how do you want to handle drivers/avs/* ?  Along with Nishanth,
I'm maintaining everything there currently (only one driver :)), and
since I recommended $SUBJECT driver go into drivers/avs[1], I'm happy to
queue it for you and update MAINTAINERS to cover drivers/avs/* instead
of just smartreflex.c.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

Kevin
