Yes, it has been _the_ interface for years, but it still remains
hopelessly incomplete and poorly defined. I don't think there is
anybody who will disagree that this is simply a BTTV interface that was
slightly tidied up, and shoved into the kernel, for lack of anything
better. It will hopefully go the same way as i2c-old, which had
approximately the same origin, and suffered from many of the same
shortcommings (actually even worse, but you get the idea)...
