Hi Leonardo, Thank you for the patch! Yet something to improve: [auto build test ERROR on powerpc/next] [also build test ERROR on asm-generic/master paulus-powerpc/kvm-ppc-next linus/master v5.5 next-20200207] [cannot apply to kvm-ppc/kvm-ppc-next] [if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system.
