Hi Paul,
Actually, I did this patch as part of the work I'm doing to enable
docking station support.  It is necessary for docking station, however,
it isn't the only thing that is needed to get docking station to work.
The docking station patch is in progress still - and will hopefully be
ready for testing soon.
