Hello Philipp,
Thank you for testing the changes.

Request (not urgent):
Can you please help me understand how do you
test such changes? Do we need specific hardware for functional tests? Is there a
documentation available to know more about the testing? I am interested in
attaching a physical device to my machine and be able to debug and test the
changes. Can you please provide details when you have time?

Thank you in advance!
