Thanks for your patch!

Please do not use explicit checks for compatible values in .probe()
methods.  Instead, use device_get_match_data() to get the feature
flag(s).  This will also make it easier to scale to other external
components later.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
