I am missing or misunderstanding something.

I do not know what "the link I sent" means.

For some reason, the devicetree mail list and lmkl mail failed to send
me a copy of patch 2/2.  Or my mail server failed to receive them.  That
is why I asked you to resend the patch. I just now looked in the devicetree
archive and found it there.

So I now can see how you plan to use the new function.
