 I took a quick look at the commit -- please apply the
 "brc_qtopia_quickfix.patch" as well.

 The problem is that I updated the Qt Extended (4.4.1) patch to include the
 %SLEEP fix, but I overlooked updating the patch for Qtopia 4.3 on the
 website.  The code as committed only detects and logs when the oscillation
 begins.  The extra patch adds the logic to disable "deep sleep" if we
 detect 3 "bounces" in succession.

 Note that there are TODO items in the code; this needs to be revisited
 once we understand more about the problem.  Areas that could use
 improvement would be adding logic to attempt to re-enable deep sleep at
 various times -- right now, a restart is required to do this.  If we can
 identify some events that would be worth trying to re-enter deep sleep
 without disruption to the user, that would be good.  Also, we may need to
 do this conditionally - I know that Moko7 firmware works well with this
 parameter but there is a report that Moko8 will not wake from GSM activity
 if the %SLEEP is issued.  Perhaps Openmoko can help out by publishing a
 change log for the firmware releases, or by testing these changes on the
 various GSM firmwares for the community.
