Absolutely, but if the 3.10.53-compatible GPU drivers also work with
3.10.17, then we would have a situation where one single version of the
GPU drivers can address both 3.10.17 and 3.10.53 based configurations.
While what we have today only works for 3.10.17 based configurations.

Yes, Antoine does have such thing. Can you share it with Gary?

Thanks,
