I'm sorry Vladimir, I can't cope with these replies that take hours to write to your emails; it just takes up way too much time and interferes way too much, I'm going to have to go back to the short sharp replies out of necessity or just not reply. Sorry. On Wed, Jul 15, 2020 at 12:21:00PM +0100,

I'll preface my reply by stating that this is my opinion and that it is not representative of what you might be visualizing as "NXP". It's not that I am trying to evade responsibility by saying this, but rather that backplane Ethernet is simply not my responsibility, in fact I have no saying at all
