Kernel version 3.4 from tag v3.4 works fine.
Comment 4 Matt Fleming 2012-06-05 11:25:07 UTC 
Does reverting the offending commit result in a working kernel?
Comment 5 Matt Fleming 2012-06-07 07:28:07 UTC 
Could you try the following commit,

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jljusten/linux/commit/?id=17f82c609a7117556a46bfd7cb60d38bffb58221

(it might be easiest to just checkout Jordan's repository).

Above patch from Jordan Justen solved this bug.
Also applied in kernel v3.5-rc2+ and it works correctly now.

Thank you for your time.
