Which branch did you test this with? I had some issues when I originally added it to dunfell but after the last patch series I am getting green a-full and meta-oe builds on the autobuilder. And master has been running with this for q Steve

Accidentally hit send :-) I intended to say that master has been running with this for quite some time now. Steve

In that case you might want to try again with the current dunfell head. It was a couple of weeks of pain, but I think I've eliminated all of the issues with using this patch. Steve
