You did not answer this question. Do you want me to drop this patch. If
that's not the case, can you confirm it does not break platforms that
didn't have those free OOB bytes exposed before this change.

I think it's safe to expose the free OOB and also tested on my side, no
issue found.

Thanks,

Boris
