Hi Wenjian,

Thank you very much. I appreciate that you help to test them on your platform since I can only test
them with loopback-ism.

And I am going to send a new version which is rebased to the latest net-next and fix two existing
comments. If the current tests have not started yet, could you please test based on my upcoming v2 ?

Thanks and regards,
Wen Gu
