I still like v4 better than v1/v5. I'm sorry for the frustration this
created on your side. 

I'd ask Greg to reconsider given that dt is less flexible than a sysfs
knob and otherwise shares all downsides of sysfs (people don't want to
have to tune that, so a useful default for most cases is important; you
have to consult documentation to understand how to tune it).

Best regards
Uwe
