Yes, just didn't have enough time :/
I have 4.9 in my staging but 4.14 with dts sounds better of cause. 
Though it's a major change and I would probably better update to 4.9 
first, so it could be included in release and then update to 4.14 with 
conversion to Device/ infrastructure.

Yes, it's pretty easy to use

Looks valid, did you try building it?
