As discussed on phone, I've merged this into master as of
34e9c3c1edb3eed02f428f9cbf97d99b3db43d4d and we can work on getting
things back and having smarter kernel and firmware over the next few
months.

I gather this should also head to stable so that it ends up in customer
hands in a timely fashion?
