Certainly an interesting case.  As no 'scaling' can be provided we are
in an odd corner.  I think what you have done is sensible and will encourage
the same on other 'unscalable' devices.  Having said that I think a short note
that it should increase with distance (all other factors being equal) in the
proximity abi Docs would make this apparent to both userspace app developers
(assuming they ever read the docs;) and writers of future drivers.

Drat - that abi is indeed somewhat confusing.  Should have gone for
distance in the first place rather than proximity.  Ah well, we get
to live with our mistakes in ABIs for a long time.
