Ok, I see. I can't come up with any better idea either, but it's unfortunate
that we can't describe the hardware correctly in this case, with a DT that
lets the OS choose the right driver, so we can't have a DTB file that
work on old and new versions of Linux, or across operating systems
when some of them only provide one of the two drivers and other OSs
want to the use other one.
