That's a fair point. The user will need to either add a node to the DTB on
his system or have the bootloader apply a device tree fragment on top of
the DTB installed by debian, which would work well with automatic updates
of the kernel. (Or load a device tree fragment from userspace once
debian supports dynamic DT.)

Since updating the DTB is a lot easier then compiling the module for
every update of the debian linux package (and security updates usually
don't change the DTB anyway), I still feel providing the module would
be useful.

Thanks for considering my report,
Harald
