The relevant changes are:

(a)
commit e377a4fc768d7d477e58888bdbddd0103d6238bf
Author: Meenakshi Venkataraman <meenakshi.venkataraman@...el.com>
Date:   Sun Apr 22 07:55:27 2012 -0700

    iwlwifi: use correct released ucode version

- changed IWL_DEVICE_6005 to use IWL6000G2B_UCODE_API_OK
- upstream in this merge window; not cc'd to stable; redundant with next change

(b)
commit 78cbcf2b9dbe0565820dc7721316f9c401000a68
Author: Meenakshi Venkataraman <meenakshi.venkataraman@...el.com>
Date:   Sun Apr 22 07:55:27 2012 -0700

    iwlwifi: use correct released ucode version

- changed IWL_DEVICE_6005 to use IWL6000G2B_UCODE_API_OK (among many other changes)
- upstream in 3.4; cc'd to stable; applied in 3.2.17 and 3.3.5

(c)
commit 35e7adaaf6932c5ffb22c6ec521734434c65adc5
Author: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@...el.com>
Date:   Wed Apr 25 08:10:08 2012 -0700

    iwlwifi: use 6000G2B for 6030 device series

- changed IWL_DEVICE_6005 back to IWL6000G2_UCODE_API_OK
- upstream in this merge window; cc'd to stable; redundant with next change

(d)
commit 1ed2ec37b44e86eaa8e0a03b908a39c80f65ee45
Author: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@...el.com>
Date:   Wed Apr 25 08:10:08 2012 -0700

    iwlwifi: use 6000G2B for 6030 device series

- changed IWL_DEVICE_6005 back to IWL6000G2_UCODE_API_OK and IWL_DEVICE_6030 to IWL6000G2B_UCODE_API_OK
- upstream in 3.4; cc'd to stable; applied in 3.2.17 and 3.3.5

We have applied (b) and (d); (a) and (c) are thus redundant.

This is (a) but applied in the wrong place; the next patch (06/91) is
(c) but applied in the wrong place; together they are reverting the
effect of (d)).

Ben.
