This is a different problem, and I agree that upgrading user-space tools couldn't help in you case. Ben had his chip correctly detected but the interface exported by the kernel was not known to the (not up-to-date) user-space tools. In you case this is the kernel driver not supporting your hardware anymore, that's different.
See my answer to your second post for details about your case.
