There seems to be an absolute lower limit of caffeine per ml blood serum, below which you 
just can't get things done right... I know that too!

Anyway, this last version of your patch fixes things for me, please see attached dmesg 
output. Thanks very much for investigating and fixing this issue!

Tested-by: Peter Schneider <pschneider1968@...glemail.com>

If you like, I can retest with your first patch (with additional debug info output) 
additionally applied on top of that and send the output, if that would be useful for you. 
Just let me know.

Beste Grüße,
Peter Schneider
