Considering its age, I still see a lot of changes on the arch/arm side of
it, so I wouldn't give up the hope yet.

I think including a foreign architecture header is worse than your
earlier patch, I'd rather see a local hack in the driver.

I haven't tried it, but how about something simpler like what
I have below.

changelog):
