What makes you think that?

I do have intentions to simplify this driver somewhat, but that will
take some time as it will require a great deal of consultation and
testing from the ST side. This is the current internal implementation
which is used in the wild and has been fully tested. If you'll allow
me to conduct my adaptions subsequently we can have full history and a
possible reversion plan if anything untoward take place i.e. I mess
something up.

I believe only the above will be required by the client. Seems silly
to create a client specific header just for that, don't you think?
