I see you submitted this to the patch system on the 8th March, but proposed a different approach on the 9th March. I don't see evidence that Paul is happy with the original approach either and there's no ack/r-b's on anything here. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
