I have already mentioned that I can't suggest since I don't have much
knowledge on QCOM PM. I see lots of patches flying around these days
with multiple people doing same things in different ways. That's why I
suggested Ilia to check with Taniya or Saravana or SBoyd to see what's
the best thing to do in this context. I don't prefer using OPP
compatible and would go with machine compatibility as you suggested.
But I am fine with OPP, just wanted to make sure it won't clash with
anything else.
