I can update the AAC driver with this PCI Id (thanks for providing it!), 
but that won't help you with installing 5.3-RELEASE onto the controller.
You'll need to either install onto another controller and then update
your sources and recompile, or wait until the change propagates to the
snapshot build machines and then install a 5.3-STABLE snapshot.

Once you get this working, I'd be very interesting to hear how well it
works for you.  I'll commit the changes right now; I would expect the
change to reach the snapshots within a few days.
