I assume that the involved software developers got a specific impression about the discussed patch series for this software module so that a few relevant dependencies became clearer eventually. I proposed some update steps where I chose a specific patch granularity once more. So I imagine that a bit of variation in the patch order could be supported already. Will it be possible to apply also this one a bit later just because the patch hunk contexts might be still valid in the (near) future? Regards, Markus
