Hi Amir,
Thanks again for the review and a heads-up about the tests. I was not aware they exist.

It took me some time to set them up due to really peculiar Makefile, but I now even have a yocto recipe to build them (will file it upstream later).

The latest master and my v3 both report the same results:
Failures: overlay/005 overlay/065 overlay/075
Failed 3 of 93 tests
(The full log is attached)

I assume the failures come due to my specific configuration, but since master and v3 issue the same results I should be fine here.

v2 indeed caused a few more failures on top of that:
Failures: overlay/005 overlay/065 overlay/070 overlay/071 overlay/075
Failed 5 of 93 tests

Could you please tell me just for my information what's the usual time frame to have my v3 mainlined?

Thanks,
Vyacheslav
