This looks weird as 1/3, please put the DT bindings first in the
series.

We first need to agree on how to represent this before we start
hacking around in the core to support different shortcuts.

This patch just makes me nervous, but maybe I can be convinced
otherwise if we get some details on how the hardware works and why
this is necessary.
