"outside of the sev specific"? What is that trying to say?

/me goes and looks at the whole patchset...

Right, so that is used only in probe_roms(). So that should say:

"Add a helper ... which will be used in probe_roms(), in a later patch."


Currently the helper is used for the probe_roms() only but it can be used by others in future. I will go ahead and spell out saying that it is for the probe_roms().

thanks, I will apply your diff.
