I don't think so. I feel It's kind of enhancement.

Actually, DSP binary is prepared by combining different elfs. So Section 
header names are appended with

something else to distinguish same section name of different elfs, by 
using some Qualcomm specific QURT scripts.
Hence final binary contains resource_table name appended with module 
specific name.

So this patch is required to handle such modified name.
