Hi Wen,
Thank you for the effort!
You can find my comments in the respective patches. One general question
from our team, could you please add a Kconfig option to turn off/on
loopback-ism?
BTW, I'm in vacation next week, my colleagues will follow on the answer
and update.
Thanks,
Wenjia

Sure, I will add an option to turn off/on loopback-ism.
