Hi Greg,

We have a custom "Universe" driver that we are using with our FPGA
implementation of the Universe part.  However, we would like to move to
the
driver that is available in the kernel tree. Therefore we will need to be
sure it is working correctly for all major features and with our part,
kernel revision, etc.  We would like to build a test suite for all the
supported features of the driver and then add any necessary enhancements
to
turn on any missing features we might need.
