I think we are fine with the current patch. The windows driver does
retrieve the important features during the initialization so with this
patch we are closer than ever than what it does.

If (and only if) we ever encounter a problem later on, we can always
make this patch only for i2c devices, but I would still try to match the
Windows driver as much as possible.

So my reviewed-by still applies.

Cheers,
Benjamin
