And issue is reproducable.  When I go back to commit
27fdd325dace4a1ebfa10e93ba6f3d25f25df674^ and apply Yoichi's patch using
git am or git apply this will leave a zero byte drivers/char/vr41xx_giu.c.
Patch(1) otoh will remove that file as expected.  The patch file Yoichi
sent looks perfectly ok; here the headers of the vr41xx_giu.c bit:

This is with git 1.6.0.6 (git-1.6.0.6-4.fc10.x86_64 from Fedora 10).

The patch is available at http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&m=2009-06&i=20090629111105.9ff024bf.yyuasa%40linux.com
and the git tree in question is Linus' kernel tree available from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.
