So it looks like the patch was kept in stable because i hit the problem
now after upgrading from kernel 6.9 to 6.13. It's a PCIe card which was
cheaply available in europe so it wouldn't surprise me if some more of
these are around and in use. So, can we keep supporting that chip and
revert the change, or do i have to get a new card?

Michael
