It could be argued, though it's not entirely clear.  It's far better than 1.0.0
on my T42, for example.  I saw these errors under 1.0.0 as well, but there I
frequently had to reload the driver in order to get it working again, while in
1.0.6 it works continuously without any fiddling.

They are, and we are.  This driver was updated to 1.0.6 in July.  In September,
this bug was filed, and then later in September it was reported to be no longer
happening to the original reporter.  In October you reconfirmed it and stated
that 1.0.3 fixed the problem for you.  It would have been irresponsible to
revert the driver a few days before release based on the information available.

If the situation becomes more concrete after release, we can consider
backporting an update.
