Remote hardware debugging is really hard and requires some remote
(hardware) configuration to see what's goining on and have a way
to enter debugger etc.

Since msk(4) is still behind in newer controller support I should
have had to sit down and write a patch for it. In these days it's
getting harder to find spare time and there are too many drivers in
tree that needs attention.
If I manage to have a patch I'll let me know.
