If the userspace component is not ready maybe this can be delayed for a future patchset? The basic features should already be useful with a generic client like fwupd.

Also it would be useful to test the new driver with fwupd which is the existing userspace user of this ABI. Just to make sure that nothing is obviously broken there.
