The fix for bug 71049 is specifically *not* quirk based. > Can this patch be reviewed & integrated so that we can consider the issue > fixed with this laptop and move on ? Adding quirks instead of finding the root cause is problematic in a few ways. Only the users of a specific laptop can "move on". There will be others, and there will be no end to it. It's not likely that only a very specific machine would suffer from this. We wouldn't be able to move on. Working around this on a quirk by quirk basis as the bug reports slowly come in, from a very select group of people, for a very limited selection of machines, is actually counterproductive to making the driver work properly for everybody. With the quirks in, it's also quite hard to revert those and try to switch to a real fix when one is found. The quirked machines must not regress, but at the same time it's difficult to get testing feedback from the original reporters.
