Once the MC improves this, the APIs could be updated to fix this. That is going to be hard to do. Ideally the driver should work with any firmware version. You don't really want to force the user to upgrade the driver/kernel and the firmware at the same time. So you cannot for example remove this pad. What you might be able to do in newer versions is actually use the space. But you have to be sure the current code is correctly ignoring it and setting it to zero.
