If the code works with some subset now, then why not work to get this
cleaned up properly and out of staging and then add new features like
this type of configuration system afterward?

Why is this a requirement to add while the code is in staging?

I believe we put this code in staging/ not because there were issues
with the codebase itself. But rather because the subsystem needs
more industry interest and developer sign-offs. The TODO reflects that.

And that will be very hard to do without some form of a config interface,
which this patchset adds.

Perhaps the time isn't ripe for this subsystem yet, although I cannot
believe that we are the only ones running Linux on fieldbus 'gadgets'.
