The key takeaway here is that you don't want to have to add support for a
driver-specific type to the core control framework. It has to remain
driver specific. In this case that means you need to provide your own
custom type ops in the driver, just like dw100 does. The actual code there
will of course be different, since you are dealing with a compound type,
not an array. But the principle is the same.
