This makes no sense, cfr my comment on 5/5

Seems like if the driver doesn't implement those, the core can easily
detect that and perform the necessary action. Moving the checks out of
core seems like the wrong thing to do, rather you should enhance the
checks in core if they're insufficient in my opinion.
