One last comment on it, hopefully all goes well, but it did not go like
I would have preferred it.

It was not waited for, if somebody has eventually already the detailed
programming instructions for that one. It likely is the case after all
these years.

The patch was never tested by those eventually affected on the other
side, since at least I would have await that this direction is confirmed
to still be right previously :)

The driver maintainer, who has also high credits for moderating within
unrelated conflicting stuff he did not cause at all over years, did not
give a statement yet. My, wait at least a week after the patches are
around since ever anyway, except for getting the LNA config quiet.

Cheers,
Hermann
