I originally had that and changed it by request to the singular form.
(Can't find the mail atm). And I think this fits better with all the other drivers.

I went with the of_xxx-functions that have fname(from_node, to_property)
and personally prefer it this way. Therefore I'd like to keep it as is.

Okay.
