Ok. Let's then apply the enclosed patch (or something similar to it).

I've no idea why Nigel proposed this patch. From my side, all I
want is to update the status of this patch:

[PATCH] media: si2168: fix a comment about firmware version

There's a comment there at s82168 that it is wrong.

With firmware 4.0.11, sleep/resume works well without
need of download it every time. But firmware 4.0.19
needs to be downloaded again after sleep.
