No, I mean it was broken to begin with.  Write a more extensive patch to
fix it.

That printk should be moved up to where we actually do the reset.
Anyway speakup is actually really bad and there is a lot of broken
stuff so you don't have to fix this function if you don't want to.  Just
fix the -ERANGE issue I mentioned and resend if you want.
