Hi Seth,

I just want to let you know that the problem with my laptop has been
fixed.

Yesterday, I found commit b9562545ef0b to cause the problem
and after a pull this morning I noticed that the problem introduced by
it has been fixed by commit 1f03bf06e4e3 (bcma: fix invalid PMU chip
control masks).

Thanks again for your help.

Dirk
