Sorry for the delay in replying. I re-tested 8486/1 on top of Jens'
v7, it is all fine, I commented on the config structure which is
a change that does not affect 8486/1 so if it is ok with you I am happy
for 8486/1 to be applied on top of Jens' series (I guess he should be
sending a v8 today which should be final).

As a heads-up, 8486/1 also depends on 8485/1 that you have already applied.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
