Thanks! I can definitely help with this. I'll send the patch in a bit.

Since it seemed as if the original patch wasn't really required, I canceled
the moderator approval request for the greybus-dev mailing list. I
thought I'd rather not bother the moderator and the rest of the list
with these patches. I thought I should mention this since it could cause
some confusion. I will start a new thread for the other patch.
