We have to be careful; there definitely are devices out there which
need to use the Residue.
This is sort of a tradeoff ... there was one complaint I saw where a
device turned read only without the fix idenitifed in this report.
Devices broken by the fix are definitely crawling out of the woodwork
now. Either this patch needs to be reverted or a new fix needs to be
applied soon (and to stable).
The patches to fix this that I have tried do not apply
cleanly to lk 2.6.26 (and break during compile if forced:
"us->fflags" is not defined).
Is there a lk 2.6.26 patch available?
