Sorry I didn't spot this myself. I tend to hand out numbers before the spec is complete, to avoid this kind of problem. But you should also ask for a number for the same reason :) rpmsg definitely got assigned 7 in my copy of the spec already, but I was remiss in not publishing it earlier. I have added scsi as 8, please change. Ohad, do you have an up-to-date lyx patch for me with the final spec? Thanks, Rusty.
