David,

Can you please delay a bit the acceptance of this series, I would like 
that we assess these findings with tests on our hardware before applying 
them.

Anssi,

Thanks a lot for this series. On our side, we have one pending patch 
about fixing a race condition on our hardware. We would need to redo 
some tests with our patch and yours so that we know better the behavior 
of our hardware.

Best regards,
