Just so that everyone understands. These are fairly new devices so developers don't have access to them to fix this issue. I have the same kind of problem. Unfortunately, I don't have the kind of money needed to buy a device with this kind of device and send it as a gift to some kernel developer... or the knowledge to write the code myself. Bummer. :\
