That's not true. Out of the four drivers that you modify two use the
parameter. And the two that don't probably should be using it too.

50% is not "rarely". =)

I don't like this particular change. The idea was to keep the API object
oriented so that drivers wouldn't have to know where to get the MSI chip
from. It also makes it more resilient against code reorganizations since
the core code is the only place that needs to know where to get the chip
from.
