Some of those structures are filled in by firmware/hardware and only the maintainers can judge if that value actually matches what the compiler needs. We have cases where individual bits are used as flags or when the size is byte swapped etc... Even Alex and I didn't immediately say how and where that field is actually used and had to dig that up. That's where the confusion came from.

That's where the confusion came from.Okay, I've dropped them all from my tree. Several had Acks/Reviews, so hopefully those can get picked up for the DRM tree? Thanks! -Kees -- Kees Cook
