You're welcome. I know that feeling.

I don't think so but we don't necessarily agree with all of Lucas'
findings plus the discussion about some of the stuff hasn't really
concluded.

Well, as Stefan pointed out we at Toradex are/were working on this as
well and we discussed whether we should just ignore whatever you have
done or not done and post our own stuff but decided to rather join
efforts now as you already jumped ahead.

I don't think so. What is important is that any changes are clearly
declared which we did.

Lucas was actually nitpicking about the location thereof and rather
than moving it we decided to just get rid of it as it does not only not
add any value but is simply wrong on most of the modules featuring
different amount of memory.

I only tried with -next stuff so it might be something is just broken
there I guess.

Yeah, that one took us a day to figure it all out. At the end we
actually stumbled over your PCIe reset patch inverting the meaning of
active-low vs. active-high (;-p).

Well, all new DTS' are now dual-licensed including several i.MX 6
related ones so we are not doing anything special there really.

Yes, you are absolutely right and e.g. on Apalis T30 [1] that is
exactly how we did it.

I don't think the reviewers really concluded on the action to be taken
on here and just using hex values is probably the most stupid solution.

Yes, we probably missed that one.
