I do not know if this cryptic note is sufficient for the driver's maintainers.
Looking at the dependencies among symbols it does look possible to add more
context here that makes it clear that this is the right and obvious thing to do
for this driver. Doing so makes inclusion of this change just a formality. If
it is not the right and obvious thing to do then I similarly expect a better
motivation than some planned usage since any planned usage may cause a debate
about whether it should be supported.
