I see your point but it just so happens it is a GPL'd driver, as is all of our Linux code we produce for our hardware. Granted it is out of tree, and after you saw it you would want it to stay that way. However, I would have sent you the whole thing if that is a pre-req to cordial exchanges on this list. Nonetheless, a somewhat recent change in your tree, that I could not pinpoint on my own, caused the driver to stop functioning properly. So after much searching in git/google/sources with no luck, I decided to ask for a little assistance, maybe just a hint as to where the culprit may be in the tree so I could investigate for myself. For SNGs I tried the method that now works but I am still at a loss as to (can't find) what changes in the tree caused it to fail. Does that now clarify/help matters any?
