I strongly urge no proliferation of DTYPs for modules with essentially
identical software.  It makes changing the software a nightmare, and forces
creating a new device type to describe a new module which behaves the
same as an old one.  A general purpose device is a better solution.
(biased of course since it is my design choice).
