Sorry for the delay in responding, we were discussing this patch
internally.

Unfortunately this is not something that our firmware officially
supports, so we cannot allow it in the driver.  The firmware doesn't
*block* this from working, but there are no guarantees that it will work
and that there will not be any side-effects.

If this works for you, feel free to use it (that's one of the beauties
of open source), but I won't apply it in the mainline driver.
