It looks like I've got a slightly older version of the driver in my
tree (based on some earlier mailing list postings), but backporting
this was pretty trivial and I've tried it in my 3.14 kernel.  It
doesn't cause any problems for me to remove the "radio" and I agree
that we should add it if/when pixel repetition is added.
