Okay, your problem to maintain. Hopefully the driver just goes by index then.

Strictly speaking, if you have undocumented bindings downstream that
is your problem and we don't have to accept them as-is upstream. I'm
not going to worry about that here.

Then where is the config space? It should not be part of "ranges" is
all I care about.
