So I was asking you previously about a dts to support this in some way 
in effect to prove it works.

I had a meeting with some qcom guys on Friday and the informed me they 
have based work on top of yours, which is inference enough that it works.

Some Tested-by: from others interested in this work, would be greatly 
appreciated at this stage.
