yeah, this somehow goes quite a bit into the "stuff that doesn't need to
change" area. On the one hand it does make "some" sense to unify things
if we're using ranges everywhere else.

On the other hand, as Quentin noted below, all existing OP1 devices seem
to run just fine, and there won't be any more entering the kernel.

So what do we realisitically gain here, except hiding existing git-history
under another layer?
