Strictly speaking your CEC controller isn't unusable, it's just a bit
difficult to use it according to your commit message. Would disable_cec
be a more appropriate field name ? And how difficult would it be to
support the hardware CEC controller, would that result in changes that
could be useful to other vendors too ?
