Yeah, thanks for pointing this out, I knew about the new interface but didn't know they already planned a deadline for deprecating it.
Definitely will be implemented, in both v1 and v2 (that will come out of beta soon, since I've other projects to work on in 2020).

(And for those reading this, this matters only for boards other than the Raspberry Pi, no modifications needed for the Pi memory registers interface).
