The firmware API is already messed up enough as it is, enough is enough. I'll post v4 of the new flexible API which after feedback from v3 series [0] should put this to an end. That should enable you to add your optional needs via a descriptor without any other collateral evolutins. I had been waiting to push out v4 until me and Julia completed some SmPL conversion to help drivers easily convert over but seeing this patch got merged and I think this can't wait any more, the SmPL grooviness will have to wait a bit and some simple manual transformation examples will be provided.
