Re: [PATCH v3] staging: pi433: replace simple switch statements

[marcus.wolf@smarthome-wolf.de]

Hi Dan,

I'd like to mention once more, that the idea of the abstraction was to 
support multiple modules of Hope-RF.
If the decision of the "team" of developer of this driver is, that it 
should be reduced to a Pi433 or RFM69CW driver only, I fully agree, 
that the abstraction layer isn't necessary (tough improving readability).

But if the "team" wants to extend the driver - here I explicitly want to 
Name Marcin Ciupak and Hogo Lefeuvre, both were discussing this with me - 
I highly recommend to keep the abstraction layer.

And once again, I have to announce, that - if noone appears, who wants to 
help me with selling Pi433 - I can't effort to let Pi433 on the market 
longer then end of this year. From this Point of view on long term it 
might be senseless to prepare a Pi433-only driver.

Cheers,
Marcus
