Thanks for the patches

I don't have much time to review right now, but I'll try to take a
look... I still haven't gotten around to figure out how to make this
work with qemu or taken the time to set it up on $work boards two years
later so I'll have to trust you on actual tests, but it can't hurt to
review.

While I'm buying time here, I'm not one to praise our new robot
overlords but since it made the news I had a look and noticed
sashiko.dev ran on the patches:

>From a quick look of the above there are a lot of questions raised and I
don't think it's necessarily worth the time to answer all of them, but
if you have time to skim through them and pick up anything interesting
please say so
(as far as I'm concerned the usb setup is intended for a mostly trusted
setup in the first place... But then again this patch series started
with a security concern, so where do we start considering races could be
an issue?)


Thanks,
