Dear Ulf,
Thank you for your effort. I saw this patch which was taken care by you 
on the mainline [commit 08ebf903af57], and also the commits in 
stable-queque by Greg-KH. I guess this means this patch is accepted/closed.
I'm so happy and want to say thank you for all the help. Next time I'm 
sure I'll do it better :)
