Arnd, Olof,

I do not have any other 'driver' patches queued, so please help directly
apply this one.  Considering this fixes a real problem, it would be good
if we can merge this through -rc.  But we understand that it's -rc6 now,
and this doesn't fix a regression or so-critical issue, so it should be
fine to queue the patch for the next release as well.

Shawn
