We generally ask bug reporters to first request that the driver or patch
be added to the upstream kernel. This can be done by mailing the Linux
Kernel Mailing List or opening a bug at bugzilla.kernel.org.
People affected by this bug are probably wondering why the kernel team
doesn't just add the patch and fix it. The reason is that the kernel
team is reluctant (not opposed) to apply any patch/driver to a kernel
that is not from upstream. Applying patches and adding drivers that
don't come from upstream add greatly to the support of the kernel as
other upstream patches/drivers may touch the same area as the non-
upstream patch and may prevent them from applying cleanly.
