Yes, it might be more sensible to just open code. OTOH mfd_cell is
marginally easier to use.

I'm not so sure - if the usage is fixed as a result of the pins on the
device being wired a CAN bus then it seems reasonable to tell the system
about that so it'll stop the user trying to run SPI or something against
it at runtime.
