hey Xavier, This seems like a reasonable bug to fix in a stable update. However an important part of accepting something into a stable release (possibly the most important part) is demonstrating a high confidence that this will not break things for other users. Since this patch requires a firmware blob update, its not possible for us to do that with this patch alone.
