Legacy will stay 0-15, because that's what legacy is about. To use the
new interface, you have to use the sysfs interface.

I've submitted another patch for legacy support last night which is now
waiting for Linus to include it. Do you want me to send it to you
directly or do you want to wait until it's in the git kernels?

Greets,
