Sorry about that; I should have separated them out more clearly. 1. Patches 3, 6-13 and 20 fix bugs introduced or exposed by the changes already accepted for .29. I regret that I couldn't send these earlier but I simply didn't have near-production hardware or firmware to test against until the last couple of weeks. 2. Patches 16 and 19 add new hardware support without affecting the behaviour on old hardware. 3. Patches 14, 15, 17 and 18 are fairly trivial fixes supporting those. 4. Patches 2 and 4 fix longstanding bugs. 5. Patches 1 and 5 add features. Please take at least the patches in group 1. I will re-send if you wish.
