Hi Doug, Brain,
Thanks for the reply.
Sorry I forgot these patches have been sent earlier, and Frank have
some explained and discussed with Heiko.
Please see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9255245/
Perhaps we can move to that patch tree to continue the discussion.
I think Frank and William will help us to continue checking these.
Thanks
