@Mark. We did internal review and believe that DEVICE_CTX path is
actually ready to be used and just needs to be activated. Can you,
please, let me know how you would like to proceed:
1. We can either consider review and apply the fix first (this patch)
then deal with ad_hoc in non-related patch series
2. Or we can go with the bigger patch series right away and address
both device_ctx + ad_hoc

2nd variant might require longer time to verify and review which would
hold the fix. What are your thoughts?
