I noticed that this patch has not received feedback and is now marked as
archived in patchwork.

I also saw that the CI reported some test failures (e.g. mgmt-tester and
others), and I was wondering if this might be the reason why it has not
been considered.

Could you please let me know if I should address those issues or if any
changes are needed for this patch?

Thanks,
Stefano
