I expect that you are talking about Xilinx releases and I hope that this has changed over times when most of changes are upstreamed already. The patch above you are referencing has been applied by Vinod and he is checking patches a lot. If there is a problem and any breakage it needs to be fixed. And bugs happen all the time and we have a way how to work with it. If you see there any issue please report them and let's fix them and continue on this topic from technical point of view. In connection to this problem what are you suggesting? Just revert this patch or fix ordering differently? Would be good to provide your suggestion and fix it. Thanks, Michal
