eeepc 1005PE camera on 2.6.33

Hi,

I recently Syu'd to kernel 2.6.33.2-1, now the /sys file to control the builtin camera seems to be broken:

[root@kia ~]# echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera
-bash: echo: write error: Input/output error
[root@kia ~]# cat /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera
cat: /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera: Input/output error

Is it just me? Or is it the kernel? Google doesn't help either.
The camera still works, but I used to en-/disable the camera using that file. I don't know how to (de-)activate the camera otherwise, I guess its active (draining power) all the time ...
