Hi All,

We had 6 feature requests during the 2023.2 (Bobcat) development cycle[1]. Few of the features had other patch dependencies amounting to significantly more patches.
With limited review bandwidth, we were not able to review all the features on time, hence I would like to grant FFE to the following listed features.

The reason so many changes are granted FFE are due to the following reasons:
* It has gone through iterations of updates and most of them has +2s so it should just require another core to merge
* The response time for addressing review comments is fast which is a good thing
* The changes are driver specific and isolated to a particular driver that have been tested by the vendor team and third party CI

The deadline after FFE is going to be 8th September, 2023 but we will try to get the changes reviewed and merged at the earliest. Let me know if there are any queries or concerns.

Thanks
