Because of this it has to be optional. We could list what compatibles
it is optional for and that it is mandatory for new users.

We just need to reject new bindings that do things the old way. The
driver will have to support both cases for some time period.

We should try to prevent that, but of course that is not always
possible. Unless that platform is deemed unstable and we break
compatibility, we'd have to handle both cases in the driver.
