When you're doing the same thing as the reference drivers, use the standard 
control.

If you're doing something strange and different from the reference drivers, ask 
yourself
why you're doing it, and whether doing the same thing as the reference drivers 
wouldn't
be a better idea.

In this specific case, RX_POWER_PRESENT sounds like a pretty common thing to
be able to sense.  So if that's what you're doing, use that control.  If your 
sensor
can't detect RX_POWER_PRESENT, complain to your hardware design team. :)
