[AMD Official Use Only - General] That is great, and I'm surprised there are some build errors at your end. How do you think we just send it to the mailing list for review and keep working on other problems based on it.? Could you please send the patches out, with you as the author and I'm the coauthor? I will review it again on dev mailing list. I will take a look on kernal change. Btw, how long do you think I would take to merge your changes on openBMC?

There were a couple of trivial compilation errors, but after I've fixed them everything seems to work fine!
