Yes, it's
	gregkh-2.6/gregkh-05-driver-core/driver-core-make-platform_device_id-table-const.patch

Below you can find the current state with all Acks it has got until now.
(Eric: I considered your mail as Ack, too.  OK?)
As I don't know how to change the log message with an incremental patch
you have to tell me if you prefer this way.

Best regards
Uwe
