Can you send the patch with diff -Nur or plain git diff?

I'm currently not sure if we should do this. IMO the kernel should get fixed 
instead to provide the sysfs file only if the content/information is really 
available. Did you report the problem to the kernel guys?

Sending HAL into a sleep loop is IMO a bad idea.
