Hi Amir,
I've tested your v8 series on Dell hardware with Thunderbolt
Controllers again between a Linux and Windows box.
Functionally it's working well.
Tested-By: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]>
Andreas,
Following the history of this thread, I believe Greg was still looking for
an ack from you that Amir is using the interface properly.
Thanks,

That I don't know, but this driver does the inverse dmi_match of the
current apple driver (dmi_match(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "Apple Inc.")), and
therefore there should be no interaction between the two.
