Thanks

You don't... You need to make sure to not step on someone else's name,
unless your 100% compatible:

Are the pin definitions used?

In building a cape, I was only using power/current and I2C to read the cape EEPROM.

Somewhere it says the pin defs are not used yet, and the ID is used to load software driver. Is that so?
