Hi Arnout,

Humblest apologies for the delay in responding to your email.

There is - I am very familiar with it. There is more yocto specific
stuff to strip from this, so I will integrate after I get the base
enabling upstream based on 3.8.7.

I tried putting them together - can't remember the issues I had, will
look at it again.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Ok - will investigate.

Ok - will investigate.

Agreed

Ok I will figure out which ones are not model specific and hard link
them.  I seem to have some memory the model specific ones are mutually
exclusive, they shouldn't be loaded at the same time, will need to
verify.

Agreed,

Agreed,

Ok.
