Depending on what they look like, we might be able to put them into the 
base code itself to avoid carrying patches around.  The key part is that 
anything system-specific needs to be driven by a MRW-based attribute check 
or a CONFIG flag.  Go ahead and submit a pull request to the appropriate 
repo and we'll take a look.  Worst case we just say no. ;-) 

(Side note - the hostboot response is a bit slow on the P8 side right now, 
just a warning.)

Yes, thank you!

Also I have sent a patch to the skiboot mailing list with our platform
initialization code:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lists.ozlabs.org_pipermail_skiboot_2018-2DMarch_010713.html&d=DwIGaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=mCj3CQvqek9g0fdziO-GEHyU1m9T3SAh0ZPd5s_AGpo&m=PMo5eGl4lto1tsIZ3-IZT5sb9Ktl2rCTBXIVBdhV2eg&s=uxCYTrbn1lZmn9m_9c0HhE58q4YI4fdUqB4wS7DDZCI&e=


One more question:
We have a few patches: 1 for OCC and 7 for Hostboot to support some
specific features for our platform, such as increased watchdog
timeout, additional DIMM sensors etc. Most of them were originally
created by MSI for our hardware.
May I commit them into the op-build project
(openpower/patches/vesnin-patches)? If so, how should I create a pull
request - one for whole set or each patch (file) should be reviewed
separately?
