It's possible to do, but I must admit I find it slightly contrived.

The overall design of different parts of the driver does relate to how I
decided to structure and implement the pattern support, so this would
mean that the driver we merge has a conceptual dependency on a
out-of-tree part.


May I ask about the reasoning for your request? Is it just to not leave
the driver hanging while we conclude the discussion on the pattern
interface?
