I added this to my tree with Tomas's title&changelog (thanks - I was
about to whine about that). Thanks Thomas for the reminder. I tagged
it as backportable to 2.6.25.x, 2.6.26.x and 2.6.27.x.


This bugfix has been there for a month and this driver has been busted
since 2.6.24. Is anyone out there? Mark? James?
