*Troy looks at the various packages built for 4.7 then says*
It looks like we have a new hwdata package.  Although usually that is only 
needed for new hardware, I'm wondering if it is needed with the new kernel, 
another one of those "We didn't tell anybody this, but you have to update this 
package to get that package to work".
Does anything get fixed if you update your hwdate with this version
