I looked at the patches and they bring DSA in a better direction. For
future submissions, could you CC people who recently worked on DSA, like
Andrew Lunn, Guenter Roeck, Vivien Didelot and myself? We can typically

In case you are seriously considering making DSA a loadable module,
there were an earlier attempt here:

Thanks!
