Thanks for the hint, but I don't think consistency is worth it. Now we have some non-trivial logic (otherwise it wouldn't need comments) in one place. With variable definition affected by the single use case in another file it will be harder to understand the reason. > Either way as here, or with buildtools change: > > Acked-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richard...@intel.com>
