Yeah, it makes sense, thanks!
Dmitry, Doug,
Sorry for the late response, I was out. A lot of the confusion and effort could have been saved had I worked on the -misc branch. My bad. WIll keep the rest of the feedback in mind and address one driver at a time to avoid an overhaul of changes. Thanks for taking time out to guide me in the right direction!
