Yeah, I also did a quick check and I could find it in one adc (most
likely we have more downstream users of this) that did not make it
upstream. Eventually, we want to have it upstream but the ABI using the
gaps can arguably be dropped...

Anyways, from my side I'm fine with this change. We can revert it if we
ever have a real user for this. I'll just have to be careful when
updating ADI tree (but that is our problem :)).
