I was about to apply your patch, with some minimal changes (see
http://code.bulix.org/i2s65n-101064), but there is one fundamental
license issue here.

The COPYING file, as well as documentation/license.txt contain the
license text of the LGPLv3. But the source code (sources/*.c) all claim
to be licensed under the GPLv3. Only the .4th files are under LGPLv3.

This is clearly not good. Could you talk with upstream to get this
situation resolved?

Also, another comment below.

This is not a proper description. Say what you're fixing, and why.

You're fixing two completely different things here, so two patches are
needed.

Thanks!
