That's just stupid spin - stop wasting our time.

The userspace interface to this driver changed in an incompatible
fashion.  This can lead to failure (and hence premature termination) of
userspace configuration scripts and in this case (at least) it has led
to CPU overheating.

Please fix this driver so that existing userspace will continue to
function in an unchanged manner.
