Thanks for the set.

I've been doing some work to add events to MC; with Hans's property API
set, assuming it could be used to tell the registration is complete, we
have all bits for a complete solution.

As the driver is buggy and fails to work correctly in the case if not every
sub-devices probes successfully, I see no reason to postpone applying the
two patches now.

One more comment below. (No need to resend just for that IMO.)
