Yes, that is the kind of effort needed. It comes with the territory.
System calls and ioctls are added all the time. Yes, they do require
some thought and review to get them right.
Creating new DT bindings also requires effort, but I don't agree with
the idea of making a mess for the end user just to avoid this effort.
Thanks,
Richard
