The order of patch series 4 is obviously important:

1. Import external libraries for MCTP/PLDM protocols.
Import the 3 main PLDM libraries: libmctp, libpldm and ibm oem pldm

2. Implement MCTP and PLDM features
Configure the mctp layer and implement the required functionalities for 
managing pldm requests

3. Implement virtual flash content using PLDM.
Add tools to access to the PNOR partitions (lid files)

4. Complete PLDM responder and enable PLDM support
Add management of pldm requests coming from the BMC
Add astbmc specific features
