Hi Magali,

Thanks for inspecting it. What you say makes sense, but André pointed
out something that makes sense to me too.

As fas as I checked, dcn3_15_soc and dcn16_soc is not used outside their
respective FPU files. Maybe the proper solution is removing those
declarations (and make the struct static). Can you take a look at it?

Best Regards,

Melissa
