Thanks a lot, Wolfram. You are real helpful here.
Because my babbage board has broken for several weeks, I don't have hardware to
test my FEC patches.

The performance drop issue still hangs in my brain. As soon as I have a new
patch, could you please help to test? Or do you guys found any performance drop
solution on your hardware? IIRC, you reported similar issue as us.

Best regards,
