Right, I think having the one-line fixup in the driver makes way more sense
here, and that is what we usually do, but we could do this if Daniel has good
reasons to keep the driver free of backwards-compatibility support.

It also depends a bit on how common the old binding version already
is, and if anyone is shipping systems with that.
