   Note:

-	The distances are equal in either direction.
Hmm, so what happens now if firmware provides a description where both
distances (in either direction) are supplied, but are different?
I have not known any hardware that the distances of two direction are
different yet
Then let's not add support for this just yet. When we have systems that
actually need it, we'll be in a much better position to assess the
suitability of any patches. At the moment, the whole thing is pretty
questionable and it adds needless complication to the code.
