Sure. But please spare me the task of running abuild for the v2 patch. I
simply don't have enough CPU power for that.

I have no idea whether ROMCC can handle anonymous unions, though, so
there might be unwanted side effects. And older gcc versions which are
usable with v2 might be broken by that change.
And then there's the question of whether we want to commit Ron's v3
device tree/pci changes to v2 as well. While I think they were really
great for v3 and I appreciate them, I'd like to be conservative
regarding v2 changes.

Thoughts? Still think the anonymous union stuff is v2 material?

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
