Thanks a ton! This worked. Though I presume you mean 

    debuild -d (instead of -b)

Also there were two other patches in the git upstream that might have
been related; so instead of cherry picking, I did

    git pull upstream HEAD

Now installing this driver solves all the problems on my system. I'll
post back confirming though. I've heard reports that this bug is
aggravated by repeated suspend / resumes. If things are working tip top
in a few days, I'll post back confirming.

Thanks a ton for the Debian package build instructions! It was exactly
what I needed,
