This is fine, looks fine, sounds fine.

You wouldn't need this, since

67#define MANTIS_TS_188 0
68#define MANTIS_TS_204 1

32struct mantis_hwconfig vp1034_mantis_config = {
33 .model_name = MANTIS_MODEL_NAME,
34 .dev_type = MANTIS_DEV_TYPE,
35 .ts_size = MANTIS_TS_204,
36};

The MB86A16 provides a 204 bytes long TS. In this case we chop off the
RS parity info.

If you don't have that change mentioned above, you shouldn't get a
distorted picture.
