I'm confused. That sounds to me like there is no difference.
Previously your card worked after warm reboots and now it also works after
warm reboot...? :)

I have a 670TXD too and did all my tests with it.

Hm. Probably I have to run a recent 7.0 and current kernels on my A1200 for
comparison again. Maybe I remember wrong. But this might take some days,
as I'm currently debugging on my A3000 and A4000.

So, overall my patch doesn't make your situation as worse as it looked
at first sight? Maybe we can keep it in?
