I think it's worth exploring if we can tweak this slightly to make
that something a driver specifies. Either skip the unspecified or
fill them with default values depending on a parameter.
Would make this code cover the existing cases better.
Might be a little fiddly as we'd want to maintain ordering so
the code would need to index slightly differently. I've not tried it
so maybe not worth it for now.

Maybe one to promote to a static inline in the header and avoid need for
the export given it is very simple.

Might as well combine.
