Thanks. Instead of adding new function, you can also pass IS_ENABLED(CONFIG…) to the existing function of the same name.

Looks like though I made every one test the patch without having to enable the config option ;-). Hey, I’m a half glass full kind of guy, why do you ask?

Paul, I’ll take a closer look once I’m at the desk, but would you prefer to squash a diff into the existing patch, or want a new patch altogether?

Thanks.
