Why is this in the commit msg? What is its purpose? Do you see any of
this in any commits?

Dropping my tag is right thing to do, but making significant changes to
hardware at v6 is very odd. Bindings represent here the hardware, so how
is that v5 had one view of hardware and the next revision rewrites it
completely.

Probably answer - v5 was heavily incomplete - but we do ask to make it
complete in the first place (see writing bindings), so all my previous
review was waste of time.

This will wait for review.

Two examples max.
