Public bug reported:

The Freescale i.MX23 and i.MX28 devices need additional quirks in the
kernel's HID layer to operate correctly. Without these quirks, these
devices will suffer from software crash of their BootROM and not operate
correctly. The MXSLDR [1] tool will not work correctly without the
quirks in place either. The patches for this issue were accepted into
linux-stable long time ago, but are not present in 12.04.3 version of
Ubuntu. Please backport [2], [3], [4] to resolve this issue.

Thank you!
