I'm glad I can help.

I saw it (https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318). I'll assign
it to myself then, if you don't mind?

I think I have enough information available, to proceed. I'm beginning
already to have some understanding of the problem at hand.  I'll ask if
I need anything. I'll give feedback as I go on.

I've been following the mailing list for some time, with interest, but
skimming over more technical details. I'll try to become more up to speed.

I did attend an introductory course on Computer Architecture, so I do
have a little background on the subject.

Regards,
