There's a lot of spaghetti in there for those who care to look. In my opinion, expecting committers to maintain it is unrealistic, unless they're familiar with the site local style in the driver files, or willing to become familiar. To the best of my knowledge, NetBSD's tlp(4) driver supports all of the target hardware that de(4) does, and is much closer to our coding style. This was my recommendation in private to various developers back in July shortly before I moved to Berkeley.
