In general we try to avoid "fixing" issues by requiring a firmware update because even if such an update is available, most users will not have it. I think the hope was that a kernel quirk could tweak something on the device to make it stop reporting these errors. > Yet, at this point it seems like the company has lost interest in > promoting this patch altogether.

If you can point me to any users or bug reports, maybe I can tidy this up and merge it. Those users are still being annoyed by the error spam, and that seems pointless. Bjorn
