Following up my own post, I don't think we should attempt such
grafting. [1] references v4. v4 was superseded by v6 at [2], which was
merged.

Because of that merge, separating this proposal into a new series seems
warranted, but has the downside of making it difficult to compare to v4
of that earlier series.

I have gone through each of your feedback items from the earlier series
to consider recurring issues. Defining a new binding is unfortunate but
its addition side-steps an ABI break - perhaps rather than remove the
existing binding we can deprecate it, and keep the associated driver
(assuming this isn't overkill, given there are no in-tree users).
Otherwise it looks to me like the proposal has concerns covered, but
let me know if not.

Andrew
