I was doing the same! I then started a rework a couple years ago to implement this idea.. At that time, I was less experienced and did not fully understood Kbuild. The result worked but was ugly and stayed in my local tree. This winter holidays, I had a bit of free time, revisited my old idea, and this time, found something I thought was worth upstreaming. Thus this series. > Haven't tested your patch series cos stuff just works for me. > Looking forward to feedback from all those logo nerds out there. Looking forward for your Tested-by tag!
