No, I just mean that there should normally be an ops pointer, unless
the uclass itself does not support any operations. The case of using
NULL for the ops pointer is really just an optimisation. I'm fine with
it, but it might create confusion for people, so it would be good to
document it in the uclass header file, where supported.
