I review the patch again. Yes, it is no functional change. Sorry I have
misunderstanding about the patch. Please do not put the second patch into
stable.

But Please consider applying the first patch (change IWL6000_UCODE_API_MAX
to v4) to 2.6.31-stable tree. It will be good to use v4 firmware on iwl6000.
