A TODO file doesn't belong in a non-staging driver.

So either it should remain in staging if this is serious enough (and I'm a bit
worried about the last item here!), or it should be documented in comments in
the driver in the appropriate places.

Note that the "revise logic" item doesn't explain the reason why that should be
done.
