Thanks, series is Reviewed-by: Christian König 
<christian.koenig at amd.com> and I'm going to pick it up for our internal 
TTM branch.

It is appreciated that you do this only one driver/component at a time 
and not in a massive change.

Are you planning to stick with applying that to the individual drivers 
using it?

Thanks,
Christian.
