That's not good, why not just submit a patch to add the needed support,
and then all versions of the kernel will work with your device and you
will not have to do any extra work at all?

Can you make up a patch for the code and send it to us (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for how to do this) and we can apply it
to the tree?  That way I understand exactly what changes you need for
