Hi all,

Gentle reminder for this patch. Earlier discussions on it were as per
[1] and [2].

Ideally, Jonathan was looking for an ack from Rafael on this patch.
This is a long pending issue. I'd like to progress on this.

[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11349841/
[2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/11/279

Please advise,
Thanks in advance,
Fabrice
