Yep.  You're correct.  However, that didn't exist when the patch was
created.   The patch comes from friend and dates back maybe 3 years.
Yes, doing it with a quirk would be better, but at the time that wasn't
an option.   Since what I have works, I've never bothered changing.

 > yes. My previous post gave an alternative though (add a quirk).

Sorry, perhaps I misread the post.  I thought you were saying that
the kernel must be left stock.  Adding a quirk and re-compiling a
kernel doesn't exactly do that.   (Nor does my patch).

Let me reiterate: what I have works, and has been working for 2 years
or more.  It is not pretty, nor is it the best way to go.   It is
acceptable as a "user beware" patch.   Use it or not.
