Hi Larry,

This was already reported over here:

https://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2016-10/msg00130.html

I posted an attempted fix there but it didn't work for Andreas. I'll try to 
find some more time to look at it but it's difficult since I don't have access 
to the affected hardware.

Thanks,
    Paul
