Hi, Heiner

A gentle ping on this v6 patch.

I have received some feedback from other reviewers (and AI bot) during this week, and I have already addressed those comments locally.

Before I send out the v7 patchset, I wanted to kindly check if you have any additional comments on this v6? Or would you prefer me to send out v7 directly with the current fixes so you can review the latest version?

Thanks for your time and help!

Best regards,
Javen
