Nope. Almost nothing has changed in this area, except for the patch that
reworks the disabling of user mode helpers:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=1bfcf1304ea79c46efc3724e548b13b4b442b418
and several bug fixes.
You can try to revert it, but I really don't expect it to have such an effect.

This probably is a result of the fact that we don't include firmware blobs
into modular drivers any more. Please try to compile your driver directly
into the kernel and enable CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL.
If this helps, we'll know what the problem is.
Thanks,
