Hi,

Please, can you tell us if this is still an issue for you. It seem to be related to an old kernel version.

Can you check, please to update to last kernel version and come to us with updates?

I'm going to mark the bug as 'Incomplete' to keep track on it. Please feel free to mark it as 'New' if it still is an issue for you.
