Yes, I will do that. Also for next two calls as well.

Ah ok, will do that.

Ok sure.

Yes I understand. Will do that in the next revision.

The reason is, control communication uses "protect". But in the first 
patch there was no dt used. Later in this patch, dt used for all the 
configuration parameters and this also part of that. That's why removed 
and moved this to dt configuration.

What's your opinion? shall I keep as it is like this? or remove the 
protect in the first two patches and introduce in this patch?
