My intention was to summarise my suggestion in the form of a patch, I wasn't expecting you to pick it up. (and I didn't post it because there was ongoing discussion on the second part) I'll repost this with the Co-Developed-by stuff. You'll need to re-post it with the series, you'll need to move your Signed-Off-By to be last when you do that. Thanks, James
