Hi Greg,

A while ago I submitted a patch for this issue and it was marked as new
functionality so only to be included in the staging-next branch. However,
as the system freezes without this patch it might be a good idea to submit
the patch for staging-linus branch as well to include it in linus tree. Do
you agree? If so I will prepare a backported version of the patch and send
it to you.
