[Leif <1525207@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

@tjaalton Xenial has git 20151019
(2:2.99.917+git20151019-1~exp1ubuntu1). Since there is no information on
the git commit, I assume     ef859c807a4bfad7c8a01a1d63f354f3ef310db5
from that date.

By building the drivers on commit
ef859c807a4bfad7c8a01a1d63f354f3ef310db5 on 15.10.

I checked the daily build on 16.04, and the issue is there as well.
However, by using the latest driver on commit
c4565979572b61cf7fc0b931333c032c88b259f1, the issue is not visible.

I would like to request the driver in 16.04 to be updated, if possible.
