Well, it is and I am using the branch "realtek-4.4.x" for this patch
that my problems has fixed correctly. But I has issued a v2 patch added
"vendor driver version: 4.3.1.1" which may be incorrect as you
mentioned. Is that means I need issue a v3 patch to change the commit
messages to "version 5.6.4"? I can do it right now.
