I see it's pushed already... Perhaps something in the future to consider
- when finding stuff like this, look for the commit that broke the
original logic, then indicate in the commit message what you found.

For this commit 0420a0324 changed to check @uml_driver->privileged
before !uml_driver was checked.

^^ This comment is wrong now ;-)

No big deal...

In any case the logic at least is the same as most other drivers now.
