Hi Adam

I think requires is too strong. As far as i can see, you don't
introduce a change using the name 'fck'. So the name is optional,
which is good, because otherwise you would break backwards
compatibility with DT blobs.

Is the plan to merge this whole patchset via netdev? If so, you need
to repost anyway, once netdev reopens. So maybe you can change the
wording?
