Its still needed for kernel <= 3.19, else the driver will malfunction for 
SI3132 based chipsets.

As far i can tell its not really a problem in practice for this driver, as 
they will not be used together. But its certainly better to keep the flags 
clash-free nonetheless. I will change it to bit 31 in the next version of the 
patch.
