Fwiw, I don't think that's a good idea.

Most places in the kernel are OK if you add plumbing with patch X and
use it with X+1. Moving things there will make for a big patch that is
harder/more annoying to review properly.
IMHO it's perfectly fine to add a note in the commit message -
"currently prio is propagated through the driver and the next
commit(s) will make use of it", right ?
