The below went into 2.6.25.1 (or will do so). It looks hopful. Can
you test it please?

We do that as a matter of course. Or we should...
From: Tejun Heo <htejun@...il.com>
commit cb6716c879ecf49e2af344926c6a476821812061 upstream
On certain configurations (certain macbooks), even though all the
conditions for SIDPR access described in the datasheet are met,
actually reading those registers just returns 0 and have no effect on
write. Verify SIDPR is actually working before enabling it.
This is reported by Ryan Roth in bz#10512.
