I'll generate a patch to remove this. Additionally this version of the driver was doing a bunch of stuff to the LPC bus that I have since found not to be necessary and removed in patches that have been applied to the mm tree and were pushed to mainline this week. Can anyone verify if this is still happening with the -mm patch?
