Sorry, I have missed your commit. Just to clarify, does the ax25 pass
the device tree in a2 instead of a1? In that case, my patch must be
changed since it assumes the device tree to be in a1.
Related to this, can I assume that a0 stores the hart ID?

If you want, I can add this patch to my series.

Thanks,
Lukas
