Personally, I'd say no.

Use git - create a version with them dropped and then you can create a 
wakelock-dev branch on top of that with your new stuff in, which can be 
rebased should the underlying branch move on (or get merged with mainline).

Its a problem that wouldnt exist if the original drivers had been 
submitted long ago...
