I have answered a couple of your comments. What remains is very small / trivial. So IMHO this can go in as is and then a follow-up patch can be done to address your remaining comments. Armin, can you do a follow-up patch addressing Andy's remaining comments please? I guess it also depends on Rafael and if Rafael is ok with taking this for 6.1 or if this is going to be 6.2 material. If this is going to be delayed till 6.2, then we can squash in the follow-up patch while merging. Regards, Hans
