I really think this is not the way to go.
As I've explained, you already have the code path in your driver that
I want Felix to operate in.
You just need to put your front-panel port in a bridge, and then
remove it from the bridge. That's it. Whatever your switch does in
that mode, I would like Felix to do it at probe time too. Chances are
that it doesn't bother you, otherwise that code would have been
removed already.
