sure since I assume your later drop will also just support the hardware I
dont see a user regression in this... I mean, when you replace the code the
hardware keeps working, end user remains happy. Nobody is married to this
patch; I just care about getting this new hardware working without having to
go to a whopping gigantic patch immediately.

So it seems we are basically in agreement ;)
