I'm wondering if I should hold off on merging the decoder driver until these two are in. What is the timeline for v6 of the MDP driver? If a v6 is posted early next week, then I have time to review and (assuming it is OK) I can make a pull request for both this driver and the MDP driver. If it takes longer, then there is a good chance that it will slip to 4.10. I will have very little time in the period September 20 - October 14.
