I tested the patch and works perfectly. I also tested in a non-Dell
machine, and it
also works properly.

I simplified a bit the cmdline so that it fits on the screen during testing.

This is the output of the Dell machine with the helper patch also applied:

And this is the output of the non-Dell machine:
https://ibb.co/whh1g9D

It seems that both are properly parsed.

I've also tested (just in case) the patch alone, without the helper
debug text, and it
works properly in both machines as well, as expected.
