Please don't violate the spec today this way, I missed that previously,
that's not ok. We can change the spec for new things if you need it,
but to not follow it, and still say it is "greybus" isn't going to work
and will cause problems in the long-run.
Should I just disable the driver for now until this is fixed up?
