Sorry, somehow I missed to check this. Will try to avoid this in the 
future. Thanks for letting me know.

But I am not going to proceed further with this patch as Woojung pointed 
out EEPROM approach can be used instead of updating the driver. So 
please discard this patch. But the EEPROM approach mentioned by Woojung 
is needed a fix in the driver to work properly. I will send out that fix 
patch separately. Please review it.

Thanks for your understanding.
