Yeah, we can manage a change over if it's required.

The reason Jeremy is doing this work is we are about to introduce
another master driver, and we want userspace to be able to find the
FSI bits and pieces without caring which master (GPIO or hardware
master) they are running against. Some short term hassle will make it
simpler for userspace in the long term.

Cheers,

Joel
