I _really_ hate when we add random special cases for random strange
drivers to core code - the usual end result is that in a few years we'll
have a maze of special-cases only used by one driver each. And nope,
cleaning that up isn't _that_ much fun ...

So just do all this in your own driver's code (and maybe set
dev->irq_enabled ourselve so that wait_vblank still works).

Yours, Daniel
