I saw there was some test already done on this series, but unless I am
wrong it was not applied yet.

Do you plan to send a new iteration soon?

I am asking because this week the dt part can be applied to be merged in
v5.1, whereas next week, it will be doable but as rc6 will be released
there will be less chance to be accepted.

Thanks,

Gregory
