Hello Thomas,

This is unfortunate. I pushed Pavan to accept an alternative implementation of this functionality that was less obtrusive, to make the integration smoother. I took care to alleviate those risks from the common path.

The big refactoring is needed yes, but considering the current path I'm not seeing it happen in 20.05. If that means taking this patch as-is in 20.05 for Marvell users, I'm not sure much is gained from waiting 3 months, except minimal risk avoidance.
