I took out counter increments from mct_u232_msr_to_state function and encapsulated them in the newly defined mct_u232_msr_to_icount function, effectively leaving the previous implementation of mct_u232_msr_to_state function intact. mct_u232_msr_to_icount uses delta nibble to track state changes. RM-60 testing showed the same levels as measured by PDM-2 in close proximity to RM-60. Please let me know if anything else needs to be corrected to roll this out,

Can you not attach the patch as a base64 attachment?  I can't apply it
as-is, because of that, sorry.

thanks,
