Hi Gianfranco,
just to let you know that I've uploaded ppc64-diag 2.7.1-6 .
I was not sure how to express things in the changelog but wanted to give
credit to the original work done in Ubuntu Zesty initially.
ppc64-diag (2.7.1-6) unstable; urgency=medium
* Import patch set from Mauricio Faria de Oliveira to support Marvell HDD
LEDs on S822LC for HPC (LP: #1650596) and commited in Ubuntu Zesty by Steve
Langasek (2.7.1-5ubuntu1)
