Hi Mike,

In my original investigations (which you referenced) this was the conclusion I 
was starting to reach, but real-world events meant I didn't have the time to 
follow up on it, so I'm grateful that you have.

In the kernel.org bugzilla report you also mention that you have a potential 
fix. I would be willing to test this, subject to time constraints (in other 
words it may or may not take me some time to get around to testing this).

Feel free to contact me directly to send me a patch (best email address is 
user kamilner on the same domain used to send this email).

For reference, I have a GT-1, a GT-001, and a 1st gen Katana I can test with.

Regards,

Keith
