Please chill down. You do have a working solution, don't you ?

The 3.14 maintainer mentioned a couple of days ago that he has more than 200
patches pending for 3.14, on top of 3.14.5. Greg is doing an excellent job
maintaining the stable kernel releases. Calling him sleepy is, to say it very
politely, not appropriate.

As far as I know no one who actually helped fixing your problem is getting paid
for this task, including me. Actually, I am specifically _not_ paid for anything
I do in the upstream kernel. In addition to that, it occurs to me that you are
most likely not paying anything to anyone for providing you support either.
You might want to consider adjusting your expectations a bit, or switch to a
pay-for-use operating system.

Having said that, Linux being an open source operating system, I am sure the
responsible maintainer would be happy to get a patch from you to fix the
original failure.

Thanks,
Guenter
