Yeah makes sense. These should be common to everyone until
cropping/scaling support is added.

Yeah could do, but given our driver requires us to run through the
whole table to get the HW ID anyway it seemed like totally wasted
effort to do the same thing in the core.

It's probably a negligible overhead, but it's also unnecessary for
100% of the current writeback implementations ;-)

If a different driver is implemented such that the HW ID lookup isn't
an exhaustive list search then we could add a helper for them to use
which checks the blob.
