Ok no worries from me then if this has already been discussed.

I'll wait to see what the next patch version has. We will
probably need to have some way to know which ODM the kernel is
running on, so we can interpret the platform type/subtype fields
properly. That part seems to be lacking from this patch right
now. We assume it's always qcom as the ODM, which isn't true.
