Hi, merged a slightly modified version of your patch - fixes it here, and I 
don't get crashes with debug mode disabled either.

I had a partial fix for that problem already in my local tree, but the way you 
had done it was better - thanks!

Can you test it and let me know if it works for you?

It doesn't fix Magic Module CAMs completely yet unfortunately - those are the 
ones I was thinking about when I mentioned the firmware loading mode.
