Yes, that's why I said your patch is a good start :)  Anything more than
that is not required although it would of course be nice if we could
find someone with too much spare time on his/her hand to fix the driver
up.

Actually a proper driver for the multimaster adapters wouldn't even be
a lot of time as this hardware is quite nice (unlike the driver).
