Hrm, really these patches aren't needed?

You are right. I confused myself:

We are dropping support for older kernels from our internal source, so now I generate alsa-kernel code directly. (where previously our source looked like patched alsa-driver version)

These patches should remain in alsa-driver to support older kernels.

The request_firmware() API is definitely incompatible between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, so we'd need a fix anyway in alsa-driver build.
