I did a review and don't see the patch 8 is ready to go.
So, to move things forward I may suggest to reorder series that some
small preparation stuff can go first w/o dependency to the actual Logic
PIO / LPC.
Hi Andy,
As mentioned in the reply to patch #8, as a practical exercise I don't
see the reason to change it now. Let's conclude that issue first before
deciding on patchset revising.
Thanks very much,
John
