I see you mention that the work is not complete in the cover letter. Either way this patch seems unnecessary, you can call the helpers for "active" features like you do, but don't start by renaming the existing field. The patch will be enormous. .

I agree that this patch will be enormous,  I made this patch from suggestion from Andrew Lunn in RFCv3.[1]   Willit make people confused for help name inconsistent with feature name ?

Thanks, not sure if I see a suggestion there from Andrew or just a question. Maybe you can add a comment instead to avoid surprising people?
