This needs more documentation about what the semantic should be. E.g.
what should .get_state return?

Also I doubt this is a good idea given that most controllers cannot
implement it.

If we really want to support a count, I request that all drivers that
don't support it get updated to refuse a request with count != 0.

Best regards
Uwe
