Hi Razvan

It is a good idea to explain acronyms, especially for staging, since
there are patches for all sorts of devices, can you cannot expect
everybody to know network specific acronyms.

By PCP you mean Priority Code Point. TCI i have no idea about.

Looking at the code, i think you are changing the flow to become
read/modify/write, instead of just write, which is overwriting the
previously configured Priority Code Point?

Please try to add more details to your change logs, to help us
understand the change.
