I dont think you need to buddy!! just applied all
patches you sent..
she looks like this now:

   CC [M]  drivers/firewire/core-card.o
   CC [M]  drivers/firewire/core-cdev.o
   CC [M]  drivers/firewire/core-device.o
   CC [M]  drivers/firewire/core-iso.o
   CC [M]  drivers/firewire/core-topology.o
   CC [M]  drivers/firewire/core-transaction.o
   CC [M]  drivers/firewire/ohci.o
   CC [M]  drivers/firewire/sbp2.o
   LD [M]  drivers/firewire/firewire-core.o
   LD [M]  drivers/firewire/firewire-ohci.o
   LD [M]  drivers/firewire/firewire-sbp2.o
   CC      drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.o
   CC      drivers/firmware/efivars.o
   CC      drivers/firmware/dmi-id.o
   CC      drivers/firmware/memmap.o
   LD      drivers/firmware/built-in.o

she's clean as a whistle!!

only concern now is the
hardware and driver functioning properly
i.g. I haven't installed the kernel
(if it even makes a difference)
just compiling and looking at warning messages.

cheers,

Justin P. Mattock
