When I had posted this series (v8) the ICSSG switch series was not
merged yet and I had rebased this series on net-next/main. When you
tested it, the ICSSG Series was merged and as it resulted in conflict.

I will rebase it on the latest net-next and make sure that their is no
conflict and post next revision.

Thanks for your feedback.
