Adrian Bunk asked for it to be included as he said it was a good "quirk"
support for some hardware enablement issues.

If you think it should be dropped, I'll be glad to do so, but it seems
harmless to me.


Nah I'm fine, it just seemed like it didn't really fulfill the
requirements for stable.

From my understanding this patch enabled the use of new devices, even
though the description of the patch doesn't specify that.
