Sad but true.

I tried to find out how to fix this but the total lack of almost any
documentation about the new PnP subsystem and/or the new-bus subsystem
is a big and heavy stone on the way to fixing this - at least for me.

I already mentioned this on the committers list without any feedback
but from Eivind who promised to get some docs from the authors on irc
and then fixing this.

I find it less and less amusing and more and more frustrating that the
inner device (driver) handling subsystem is heavily changed (which is
by itself a positive thing) without the slightest attempt to document
it :-((( (the most frustrating thing is, that this mentality seems
to be widely accepted by committers and core).

Yesterday a (experimental) patch was posted to the i4b developers list
which seemed to be (from reading the text) a step in the right direction.
But it will take some time to get this properly integrated with the
rest of i4b.
