     This definitely doesn't belong in the dt. It's purely a Linux
     abstraction and does not represent a piece of hardware or common
     interface.

     We need to think of a better mechanism for binding the module to these
     devices now.

   I already make this remark in the cover letter; thanks for confirming it.

Sorry, I found the cover letter a little unclear in that regard.

Thanks for the clarification :)
