Hi Anirudh,

Thanks for your code review.

It's a problem yes. But I don't know how to manage this error in this context.

Ok, done.

Hmm, in fact my platform use a hard IRQ and I used it without question.
I will see how to improve it.

Yes it was a mistake. Done.

Ok, done.

done.

done.

done.

Thanks.
