Note: please use prism54-users for user related stuff. Do not send stuff
like this to prism54-devel.

Use 2.4.22, patch it with 2.4.23-pre8 patch, and then use this patch:
http://prism54.org/patches/patch-2.4.23-pre8-prism54-1.0.2.2.bz2

This is tha latest patch. You need your firmware in
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware

the firmware should be named isl3890

If this is not good enough instructions for you, then please wait until we
release a complete new stable package.
