For example if you want to define which input pin to use (so you have internal mux), it's quite unspecific to give them some indexes. What is 0? What is 1? Number of pin? Number of pin counting from where? Since this is unanswered, the IDs are also driver and implementation dependent, thus you still have the same problem - another OS can choose different clock. That's not then a hardware description, but software configuration. Best regards, Krzysztof
