Thanks for doing this Jerry. If it's not under 4.2 and 4.3 it of course 
won't be present in Fedora 22's kernel 4.1.That saves me a bunch of time 
installing Fedora 23 Beta for no reason.

Now I need to learn how to patch and install a custom kernel in Fedora 
22. It's been a *long* time since I've done that under any distro. I'm 
sure I have all the tools since I had tried patching mceusb.ko to try to 
get my Chinese IR receiver working. I assume there is a page somewhere 
with instructions on compiling and installing under grub2, etc.
