Yes, sorry I was traveling Thursday to Monday and then spent some time
catching up and investigating an internal issue. I'm currently going
through the patches one by one incorporating comments. I fear the split
of the USB patch as well as the suggestions for video might take a bit
of time, so if you prefer I could also send just an updated patch 1
separately. How would I do this cleanly? Send as v4 without(?) a cover
letter and add a Note after the '---'?

Thanks,
Niklas
