Dear Marek Vasut,

Thanks for the start on this, but I would like to see a little more
genral approach here.

Passing a single option is IMO not enough. I posted a pretty complete
specification of the format I have in mind before:

Do you think you could adapt your implementation to more in line with
that?

Thanks.

Best regards,
