Sure. Feel free to drop them. The main reason these patches exist is
based on the fact that these files didn't contain the "dev.parent ="
pattern. I tried to only add those necessary based on code inspection,
so it is very well possible that we don't need them. If someone runs
into it on these drivers, that's the time to fix it I guess.
