You patch fixes Ubiquiti SR71-12 for me!  And it looks quite reasonable.
I'm only getting "deadbeef" from AR_IMR_S2 now, which is exactly what
I'm getting with SR71-15.

The right fix would be probably to find out when the "fixup" is actually
needed.

By the way, I'm not very fond of checking PCI ID in the driver when
there are other ways to check for the chip revision and capabilities.
