nah, the *hw* block doesn't exist on ICL, a patch to use it there would
be garbage, not experimental :)

by "use it" I was referring to the feature itself.

yep, it's better. And s/it/RS/ would help clear out the confusion on my
badly worded paragraph.

I think I got it right on this one saying "keeping the uapi *defines*
around for compatibility.
