I added a patch to the Debian kernel subversion repository for sid.
Snapshots of the kernel are not built for arm, so I uploaded the
binary here [1]. Martin Michlmayr tested this version and reported
that he could not reproduce the problem. If possible, it would be
great if you could test the new kernel. The following link wil show
you the patch that was applied.
