Well, I'm developing on mxs and there it works on 3.13 and 3.14 at least.
(I have it in production using 3.14.18 ATM.)

I got one report about this issue, but couldn't reproduce it yet and
the reporter didn't agree to quoting his messages to kernel mailing lists,
so this has been rather low priority on my todo list. Next plan is to
see if I can reproduce the issue on sunxi (A10).

However anybody able to reproduce this and willing to test patches, would
of course push this up on my todo list.

Any input from gpiolib people about what the proper fix would be in
their opinion, of course is appreciated. I don't think the dht11 driver
is doing anything unreasonable per se, so maybe they can clarify how
the API is intended to be used?
