No more painful than anything else. At this stage, using a positive or
negative polarity is immaterial, as there is no core infrastructure
making any use of this behaviour (every single driver must reinvent
its own square wheel). If such an infrastructure existed, that'd
indeed be a requirement. For now, this is merely a convention.

As I said, this looks like a bug, probably in the M1 DT. I'll try to
look into it when I get the time.

	M.
