Hi Andy

Yes. I can do that. I've been wanting to try iopoll.h. I will see what
the performance impacts are.

Yes. I'm adding device tree properties. If the property is not
present, it will default to 2.5MHz. Same for preamble suppression, if
the boolean DT property is not present, it will not suppress it, so
keeping backwards compatibility.
