Doing a backport to 4.5 will include changes to the ATA driver in the
kernel as well as to burncd, and is not a trivial matter (and IMHO
not worth the effort as an update will do nicely)...
It would be far easier to upgrade the system to something newer like
at least 4.7 where the support is already in...
