Thanks for the patch! Also can you re-send and address Greg and
linux-kernel ? There's significant changes to the firmware API on its
way to Linus to I think if we want to merge this it should go through
Greg at this point as he also merged some new changes I made to these
scripts.

Odd I am pretty sure I tested this and it worked for me. Wonder what
it could have been... What shell are you using? I used bash.

Seems to work the same way for me whether I use bash (interactive) or
dash (script interpreter, /bin/sh). But there's no visual difference
between " \n" and "\n"; that's why I used od to show a hex dump in my
previous mail.

Oh and if you can then base it also on Greg's driver-core tree on the
driver-core-next branch

So odd, I'll test again with my qemu setup to verify again.
