Last time this was discussed, it ended something like this:

If the code currently never calls these functions with "count == 0", 
then assume it is an optimization to not check for "count == 0".

The isssue has not been resolved, rather worked around, by having:

if (count != 0) {
  bus_space_xxxx(....);
}

in the drivers in question.
