You all sort out what you want... I can't follow it all, and I'm not
going to spend the time trying to figure out what is going on here.

As this is worded, changing the driver is a Linux problem and irrelevant
to the binding. Now if you want to move documentation to a location that
makes more sense, then fine. But structure patches that way and make it
clear that from an binding ABI perspective, nothing is changing.
