Thanks for the patch Ciara it looks good to me.

Since you put these tags:

Signed-off-by: Mauricio Vasquez B <mauricio.vasquezbernal at studenti.polito.it>
Signed-off-by: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus at intel.com>
Co-authored-by: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus at intel.com>

should the author be Mauricio?

If you want to respin including Stephen's comments (thanks!) I'll be
happy to apply it.  Otherwise I can make the changes myself before
pushing it.

Thanks,

Daniele
