Right. So this is based off of the qualcomm implementation. But I'm
hoping to reuse it for other hardware.

Errr.. I'm going to have to read up there. I'm not super familiar with
any of those drivers, so I'll try to see how exactly they would map in
here.

Yea. This is good feedback. EFI bootloaders have their own
implementations as well. I suspect we'll need a few different driver
"types" to handle these differences, ie: value vs string.
I'll maybe extend the compatible string to make it clear that this is
a "value" style, and we can extend it with a string type later if
folks care?

So, reason is initialized to NONE here. So that should handle this,
no? Or do you mean something more subtle?

Ok. Will look into this. Sorry for my unfamiliarity with these details.

Any tips here on how to do so?
thanks for all the feedback!
