We had a bug in the driver, and thanks to this bug report it's now fixed. Everyone, thanks for the report and testing! I hear a firmware upgrade in the dock also fixes the issue, but it doesn't mean we didn't have a bug. As the fix ended up being my commit, I feel I should express my view on the offered bounty. This is speaking solely for myself, not for my employer or colleagues. Regardless of the firmware fix, I think it would be unethical of me to accept any part of the bounty. I am employed to work on the driver, and fixing issues like this is part of the job. Personal prize money should not directly affect, or give an impression that it would affect, the priorities I set and am given as an employed developer. This is also a team effort. I contributed the fix, but many developers were involved in the triage, and people who tested the patches likely spent more time on this than I did! (Thanks again!) All that said, I appreciate the offer and FreedomSponsors in general, and I would have no qualms about accepting bounties for things I work on in a hobbyist capacity. If you still feel indebted for having made the offer, please consider sponsoring some other task or donating to a charity of your choosing.
