Thats quite a nasty bug and its surprising its not been found before
now! Can you resubmit the patch with description and most importantly a
Signed-off-by line please (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches)?

by now,  tdo24m works just OK on my Littleton and thus hiding this bug

Aviv,

Any update on this patch? I'd like to queue this ASAP.

Hi,
I tested in on my PXA-270 board.
The patch was submitted and I guess it's waiting for approval
