Thanks for the respin.  I have one question however:

[...]

I never used that option so I'm unsure about this.  Do we ever want to
change this value?  I really would like to only offer options that are
sensible to change.

If it is sensible to have this option, then from what I read in the
documentation, 12 is indeed a good default as it does not seem to depend
on the actual device.  Am I right?

If we agree on how to proceed, I can fix up the patch myself.

Thanks
  Detlev
