Then don't complain if we ever have to break the ABI. We never tested
that hardware, never had any code running on it, and it *will* cause
some issues. For example, the calibration data have never been used
and how they should be represented have never been described, since no
one ever actually tried to use it.

And sure, Linux is not the only DT client. Just like FreeBSD isn't.
