Thanks for the clarification! Indeed my notes were only a hypothesis, I don't see evidence that there is an actual downvote shortly after console registration. > I have validated proposed solution by me, it is working fine. > > Currently voting is done for every QUP and not only to which earlycon is > connect, with the above approach we can't remove vote from other QUPs. > > However we can limit voting only to earlycon QUP by removing interconnect > from DT node of other QUPs. > > I am not sure how clean is this solution. I'm more inclined towards a solution along the lines of what Evan proposed, i.e. delaying the votes (either in geni or ICC) until we are ready.
