I understand that in general we tend to fix, not just to revert. But the
poor quality of this binding and the next patch, which was suppose to
fix it, plus complete lack of testing, means I do not believe the author
will send correct binding.

More over, fixing binding might require dropping incorrect properties,
thus changing the driver. I am not willing to do that, I doubt that
anyone has the time for it.

It's the job of submitter to work on it.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
