Thanks! At some level, there are things we can only verify by
experimentation, since we don't have firmware source code. This seems
fine to me then.

Thanks.

I think it'd be good to see this info in the commit message, but
otherwise you can carry my:

Acked-by: Brian Norris <briannorris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

It'd be extra nice to see that you successfully use this patch in
your own releases, but I don't think that's a requirement for upstream.
And anyway, the upstream RC cycle is pretty long.
