Thank you for the update and for sharing the snapshot of your work. The 
improvements you're working on sound promising, especially the 
abstraction of power controls into a single place.
While we appreciate the direction you're taking, our patch has already 
been pushed upstream with V2.
To maintain our momentum, we would prefer to continue with our current 
cleanups rather than waiting for your post if it's planned for a few 
weeks from now.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could take this patch and build 
your ongoing work on top of it, as it would be somewhat similar to 
optimize it from SE's protocol driver to the common geni driver for 
power management.

That being said, could you please provide an estimated completion date 
for your work?


Thanks,

Praveen
