That's a hack that will break support for other chips, but it provided
enough information for me to find the upstream fix in Linux 4.3-rc1:
https://git.kernel.org/linus/36582e5d4daeccf68a8a3cef9bc37b60fb7d45b9

I've queued that up for the next upload to unstable.

I've opened another bug for the firmware as that's packaged separately.
