How about they get their changes in now, and eventually they cleanup
the octeon driver in the future? My personal experience with that sort
of request, is that I had to come up with 50+ patches to clean up the
Kconfig mess that USB drivers had back then and I still have not
re-submitted the bcm63xx USB patchset.

It is fair to pinpoint what *should* be improved and what the next
steps could look like, it is not fair to ask people submitting changes
to come up with a much bigger task before their patches can be merged.
