Thank you. I noticed that the patch was tagged "for-3.9". Does this mean that it is too late to get it merged during the current release cycle? If possible, I would like to get it backported to 3.7-stable (and possibly 3.2 stable), since without it a whole family of Sony desktop computers is unusable under Linux out of the box. Should I do it myself or do you have a process in place for HID stable patches?
