This exposes the control to L1 but doesn't implement the backing
functionality.  The backing functionality, consistency checks and exposure
to L1 should be a single patch.  The consistency checks could be added
earlier, but I don't see much value in doing so given that the checks are
(currently) a few lines.

I will combine the exposure of the control and its backing functionality into a single patch. But I would prefer to keep the consistency checks in separate patches just to make it a gradual progression i.e., first enabling the controls in a  patch and then checking their consistency in the successive patch.
