Not sure how, but my patch got through, and I don't recall being
subscribed, so I thought it was a an open list. Anyway, it's something
that I considered important to be considered by the two communities.

Kay raises up the matter of still using dev_id. Since we had drivers
that used that in the past, should we use it as a fallback for older
kernels where dev_port is not there?
