Appreciate your efforts in trying out this. Also it took a while to 
formalize the design.

Stable - Yes, but the driver handling have gone through a lot, and i am 
quite confident :( , that the series would not apply to stable.

As Bryan is suggesting, we can think of applying your suggested 
workaround to stable, and pick the sub node design to mainline and 
forward. Open for suggestions here, if anyone have anything better.
