    Yes.

    I have copied to the Ubuntu bug report (they already pushed out your
    first patch) so hopefully people there can test it as I don't have this
    hardware either.

    BTW, what was it that produced this issue in the first place? All
    previous kernel versions worked OK?

    Thanks,

    Nick
