I don't have it set in my .config:

liesel:/usr/src/linux-2.6.36-rc4-git5 # cat .config | grep DYNAMIC_MINORS
CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS=y
# CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not set

Your patch applies cleanly to 2.6.36-rc4-git5, however, it doesn't fix the
problem for me. 

My .config is attached.

Thanks,
Heinz.
