I disagree.

Doing it later would introduce yet another major semantic change.

I think we should get it right now. There's no hurry in pushing things
especially if they aren't quite right.

The ability for prepare() callbacks to sync with userland,
request_firmware, etc... is an important feature that's been needed for
some time imho.
