Yes there are two patches. But the simplest solution I know (at Your own risk, because it worked for me but it is not documented anywhere) is to change Your affiliation in something that does not exist.

in the .kobo hidden directory of kobo there is a file: affiliate.conf where You can change Your affiliation. Change from

[General]
affiliate=Kobo

(or Walmart or what it is)
into a word that it is not a possible affiliation

The affiliation change generally is used for the opposite purpose: to get new firmware before the normal distribution by Kobo for Your affiliation; so I wondered what happens if I would write a not existent affiliation and I found that the firmware will not update at all.
