I have no idea whether this works... *looks at Antonio*. But thanks for bringing this up in the issue tracker and sending this first version of the patch.
sorry for the delay. Overall the patch is correct, I also tested it and it correctly fixes the problem.
Please, address what Sven just said so that the patch is clean (you can also use checkpatch.pl --strict to check for this style things..it is in your linux/scripts/ directory as documented in the file cited by Sven)
Cheers,
