Do some of your embedded devices use big endian byte order? It suspect your
issue is fixed by the following commit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b9389796fa4c87fbdff33816e317cdae5f36dd0b
Could you please test, whether the problem is fixed if running one of he trunk
kernels based on 2.6.31-rcX (which already include the patch)?
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel
If it fixes the problem, we can add the patch to a kernel update in a
stable point update.
Cheers,
Moritz
