First of all, thank you for your initiating this discussion. Obviously,
it should be done but I couldn't put enough time to make it.

I don't have any objection on that. It would be really helpful if you
grab patches from there for upstreaming. Please let me know if you need
any help or clarification from me or from Intel during the upstreaming.

Thanks,
