Hi Lukasz,
I tried submitting a similar patch for another devicem but got no reaction 
[1]. In the meanwhile, there has been another proposal [2] which moves 
handling of this into userspace via udev. You might want to take a look at 
that mechanism instead (and perhaps send your Tested-by tag). It has worked 
well for me.
