Thanks for testing - now let us wait and see what Laurent says.

When the time allows I'd like us to try to fix up these somehow. At
least I'll give it a go - I guess Armadillo is difficult without any
board.

The TWD portion above - is it driver code or integration stuff? If the

merged right away.

My plan is to dig into sh73a0 (maybe including TWD) later today.

Thanks for your help!
