I know about that issue, it appeared when i reworked the driver quite
some time ago. At the time i did not test such old kernels. You should
be able to find a working version in the history. If you come up with a
patch guarded by some ifdefs i would merge it to enable 4.1 again.

So option 2 for sure.
