I was just thinking, since returning -EBUSY for the case of already allocated
test_fw_config->reqs was your suggestion and your idea, maybe it would be OK
to properly reflect that in Co-developed-by: or Signed-off-by: , but if I
understood well, the CoC requires that I am explicitly approved of those?

Thanks,
Mirsad
