    This is equivalent to providing dummy pincontrollers as was on my
    TODO for a while admittedly.

    For consistency with regulators it would maybe be better to have
    optional dummy pin controllers but after thinking a bit about it
    I think this is more helpful, so I applied it anyway.

    However I would invite more opinions...

    Yours,
