Hi Dave,

It seems that we need to write this patch from scratch, so I would like
to remove it from the patchset. So other patches we have in the pipe
won't be delayed.

Regarding the Kconfig description that Ben suggested, I will send it in
the next patchset.

Do you want me to send a V2 with the only difference is this patch
removed, or can you take this set?

Thanks,
Amir
