How the driver arranges it should not be a reason to use or not to use
specific fallback. Although Rob acked it, but I still think you did not
provide valid reason for the change.

Valid reason is usually the actual hardware (so they are actually not
compatible with mt6589), not exactly how once someone did it in the driver.
