Yes I agree that it breaks now things for me, so if it works for you
it seems we're good to go. But I don't want to ack it yet as I'm

Correct. And I tried to follow what the Motorola kernel tree
was doing to configure things but got the configuration wrong
but it worked so I never had a reason to doubt it before your
patch.
