Sure.

In addition, it looks like there are some tja1051 devices that don't
even have the enable pin? Of the 4 SKUs, there are 2 that use pin5 as
Vio and 1 that has it n/c. Only the T/E device has an enable there.

Ye, I think so. And probably add some if/then to use it instead of
standby on the relevant chips.
