2.6.10 compile error - blackbird_load_firmware

["prem.de.ms" <prem.de.ms@gmx.de>]

Hello,

I get the following error message when I try to compile the new 
2.6.10-kernel:

[...]
CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  UPD     include/linux/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x8a3b2): In function `blackbird_load_firmware':
: undefined reference to `request_firmware'
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x8a454): In function `blackbird_load_firmware':
: undefined reference to `release_firmware'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

Seems like the Conexant drivers are broken because the kernel compiles 
when I uncheck them.

Any suggestions?
