Our goal is to gain clear direction within two weeks. Sorry guys, but this is just utter bullshit. There are obviously correct patches out that make an important class of controllers work with no downside at all given that code doesn't even change for little endian compiled driver binaries. I have to say I'm a little sad and disappointed we're even arguing this in any form and that patch haven't been merged long ago.
