 - **`driver_order`**: An integer that controls when the driver is configured relative to other drivers. All drivers with `driver_order = 0` (the default when the field is omitted) are configured before any driver with `driver_order = 1`, which in turn is configured before `driver_order = 2`, and so on. Use this to force a driver to be configured after another one when there is no dmod dependency between them to infer the order from automatically. Negative values are allowed and are configured before the default group: `driver_order = -1` runs before `0`, and `-2` before `-1`. Use a negative value to put a driver ahead of everything left at the default, without having to raise `driver_order` in every other configuration file.
 - **`friends_group`**: Groups configurations that form one logical peripheral. Once device paths are available, DMDEVFS reports every other member of the group through the optional driver's `dmdrvi_friend_changed()` callback.
 - **`friend_role`**: Optional application-defined role of this member inside its friends group, such as `chip_select`. It lets consumers distinguish several devices of the same type without relying on section names or generated paths.

+RTC nodes are probed with GET_INFO, not GET_TIME, so an unset calendar is still
