normaly yes - this was marked as RFC and if I had split it up into
3 patches it would be hard to see how it fits together without
actually applying them.

The intent was to get feedback notably on moving i2400m->reset_ctx == NULL
and if dropping the (I think missleading) comment about negative return is ok

Should this be in seperate patches even as RFC ?
Once that is clarified it will go out as 3 patchs.
