Re: [PULL 00/10] Modules 20200702 patches

[Claudio Fontana]

Hello Gerd,

I think in general the idea to make it easier to modularize things is great,
is this thought for devices only, or could I rework my changes to support 
modularizing per-target AccelClass types and all the related code on top of 
your design?

Thanks,

Claudio
