Feel free, and if that makes your new call useful, you can get it
merged that way.

Historically, we have tried to keep the taggers independent of the
switch driver. That is not always possible. But developers do combine
the loop DSA driver with any random tag drivers at times, so please be
careful with any cleanup to ensure you check for unexpected
combinations and -EOPNOTSUPP etc.
