Hi Iwona,

One meta question first, who is this submission "To:"? Is there an
existing upstream maintainer path for OpenBMC changes? Are you
expecting contributions to this subsystem from others? While Greg
sometimes ends up as default maintainer for new stuff, I wonder if
someone from the OpenBMC commnuity should step up to fill this role?
