Because I lack the hardware, I only tested it built with allmodconfig 
and tried to be very careful about my reasoning. I know I *should* be 
testing it, and am sorry about it.
Should I try and update the patch? Maybe it conflicts with a different 
one. I made the changes on top of staging-testing.
In retrospect, I believe the issues should be handled in different 
patches anyway, so I would like to do a second version anyway.

Regards,
Mario.
