Thanks.

I still have the hardware. Even tested it recently with a new SDIO host
controller and it "worked just fine". Hardware is a GPS receiver so
admitedly nothing that would push this driver into corner cases.

However I have problems applying your patches. Most of them require
fuzzy patching to apply, and one of them even doesn't apply that way.
What is your base tree?
