2.3.99-pre3 to be specific. I didn't look at all the versions.

As in my patch, original code is 32bit read-modify-write, It was cpu_to_le16
in 2.2.14.
Anyway I'm very embarassed, I've found that It's fixed in 2.3.99-pre6.
I've worked on this problem because somebody complained about this problem.
And the complainer said he discussed this problem with the driver writer.
So I thought this problem has been there from long ago to now. But It's not.
emm....
Probably It's fixed in 2.3.99-pre6 and not before. I like to belive so.
Don't tell me the truth if it's not.

Regards, 
Soohoon.

Could you produce unified diff (diff -u)?
