thank you :)

i think this is preferred to having a year-old revision in the kernel.

these problems (issues after Rui's update to my patch) are issues with
the driver itself, and hopefully they will be resolved now. the number
of eyes looking at current code has grown greatly, now ...

certainly i did not intend for any issues with the driver update patch,
but some issues were fixed and many features were added (fwiw, i have
no problems).

i suspect now the issues will be cleared up soon, and hopefully the
driver will see more frequent updates.
