Thanks Xueming,

But is there a preferences for this case?

The i40evf will be removed from main repo, is it better
1- first apply the fix and remove the component from main (I assume fix still
will be bacported to LTS in this case)
or
2- remove the i40evf from main (without fix), apply the fix directly to the LTS.

Thanks,
ferruh
