Thank you for posting the patch, since I hadn't noticed the problem with other
APIs until I read it.
It was a sad realization that a driver change is not reflected by a udev/kernel
CHANGE event, that would make things much much simpler. I have an idea to either
make this patch shorter or not needed at all though, we'll see when I finish my
patch (it's a long-needed refactor). Despite I haven't found any major flaws in
this patch, let's just put it on hold for a while until I finish my
investigation/work on my patch and see we can really do better here.

Thanks,
Erik
