The original patch from 3.11 didn't apply to older kernels due to changes in radeon_asic.c.  A new asic family was added so the original patch may have applied to the wrong chip family.  In 3.11 there is a new rv6xx_asic struct so the patch patched 3 structs r600_asic, rv6xx_asic, and rs780_asic.  In 3.10, there is no rv6xx_asic struct, so the 3.10 patch only applies to r600_asic and rs780_asic.  Or are you saying you got the same 3.10 and older patch twice?  I only sent it once as far as I recall.  Anyway, if you already have it that's fine.

Thanks,

Alex
