I wanted to ack this patch but the Intel validation folks asked for a 
couple of days to finish their tests on a variety of Chromebooks (e.g. 
Lars) and double-check which models used the v4 topology. There is an 
internal thread on all this which remains active. I don't think the 
feedback will be delayed beyond early next week.
