Well, the code that I fixed constructs Linux structures out of
OpenFirmware device tree. OF tree is somewhat similar to ACPI or
DMI tables in x86 world. So, in general, OF isn't kernel version
dependant.

(We have an in-tree depot of device trees for reference/devel boards
in arch/powerpc/boot/dts/, but this is surely not a conclusive
list of device trees in the wild.)

Since the fix is trivial, I'd say 2.6.33. But the issue isn't major,
so no big deal if it won't make it.

Thanks!
