The attached patch is the corresponding fix for the i810 driver.
Although it works, I don't understand what it does, so would
appreciate someone who knows about I810Sync having a look -
it may just be hiding the real problem.
Having said that, I'd rather this patch went into 4.2.0 than no
patch went in - the bug is a show stopper.
