Yes I certainly know. My aim was to provide working driver around 99% of 
users even it is not correct. I don't understand why you all the time 
reject this kind of workarounds leaving devices 100% non-working state. 
And as it is the device what I am mostly responsible, I will get all the 
angry feedback from the unhappy users as their device does not work 
anymore after the Kernel upgrade.
