Hi Gregory,

It has been quite a while since I have written that patch. Something
written somewhere in the Documentation / commit message which I can't
find anymore gave me the impression that using the same for short
doesn't make a difference. So I went with the pool IDs used for other
similar boards for "consistency".

Will send a v2 shortly using all independent pools using the IDs witch
come most natural in context.

Thanks
Ralph
