> DSA drivers don't need dynamic resources from the kernel.

It is hard to say if that is going to remain true. I think when we
start doing more D in DSA, we might need to keep more state
information.

What we need to avoid is making changes now that we later need to undo
because we need dynamic resources. So i'm happy for a simple
interface, so long as i can still use the complex interface, when i
need it.
