As much as I like ... err ... technical discussion, perhaps it's time that
either side came up with something solid. "Linux can" and "Manufacturer
agrees" are not solid, IMHO.
The Linux code states that the workaround is perfect in what source file?
The manufacturer agrees in what e-mail/article/knowledge base?
