I was talking to some people from the community about testing this on some of the smartphones we have in upstream, so it wouldn't help if I just have the changes privately. It doesn't have to be perfectly clean as far as I'm concerned, as long as it allows to see the whole picture of the additional changes we need to make use of this series. Thanks, Stephan
