Obviously I cannot talk about future hardware or even admit that there
is such as thing as "future hardware".

But all the issues with the DW controller *have* already been worked
around by different implementations, in different combinations. And I
will be very sad if *we* somehow manage to make a new board which needs
a new and different combination of quirks.

Actively, percussively, sad.
