I failed in several attempts to get feedback on this patch. You applied
the last two patches for this driver (that is all patches since the
driver was born). Would you care for that one, too? Tell me if you want
a resend. Note that the other 7 patches from this series are already
cared for, so if you're using b4 am or shazam, make use of -P7.

Thanks
Uwe
