Thanks for testing.  Good to know that this really was the problem you
were facing.

As you might have guessed, neither Johan nor I have the hardware to test
this driver. So your bug report and testing is extremely valuable.

And thank you for an excellent bug report and quick testing.  The fact
that you could describe exactly which stable releases this appeared in
narrowed it down to just a single commit. And describing exactly what
happened narrowed it down to just a few possible places within that
commit.  This was the main reason the bug could be fixed this fast.

> Will this show up in 3.6.7?

That's for Greg to answer.  But don't be surprised if this came in too
late for 3.6.7.  All fixes for stable has to go through mainline first.
