This problem has already been identified and fixed. The original
proposal (by Marco Felsch) was to manually retrieve this information
[0]. However, this required manually implementing all platforms Linux
supported. The final solution was to add the funcationality back to
Linux [1]. The patch was accepted to stable so if you are experiencing
the issue, you are using an EOL kernel or a kernel without the latest
stable patches.
