Damned. I missed device.h in this patch.
Without this one, the patch do not compile :(

A fixup commit I missed to squash before sending.

A v3 is planned to add this device.h.

Nuno, do you prefer I wait few days before sending this v3 waiting for more replies
or I send it right now and you re-do your comment on the v3 ?

I would really prefer to send it now :)

Sorry about my mistake.
Best regards,
Hervé
