Sorry Maciej, you're totally off base on that. On consumer hardware
vendors very rarely fix anything after release of the machine
and in general users expect Linux to work around any BIOS or
hardware bugs that happen (especially if it's a regression and worked
before)

So you either need to provide a workaround for the problem or your
patches should be reverted.
