Thank you very much.

Yes, "in the good old days (tm)" there was much effort put into not
increasing the binary size for existing boards when adding new features.
Unfortunately this is not true anymore.
And all the shiny new driver model / OF features only bring
disadvantages for maintainers and users of existing boards.

I totally understand the desire to convert the driver code to "something
better", which is easier to maintain long-term. But apparently new code
is only tested on a single platform, while constantly breaking support
for others without notice. But 'm complaining to the wrong person...

Thanks again,
Soeren
