What does the vendor kernel driver have? I haven't checked utgard, but
there's no shortage of quirks in the midgard/bifrost driver. I'd
imagine utgard to be similar.

Right.

More importantly than the 1 example I gave, design the ABI to be
extendable beyond 7 more u32 values. It is quite easy to support 2^32
params.
