Indeed it is not completely needed, but to be clear it "just" shifts 
the IRQs by one, so it shouldn't do any harm either. So it is up to you. 
I would understand that you choose not to apply it to be on the safe 
side. BTW, it seems f28d7de is required by my patch, appearing in 3.14; 
as I don't follow kernel development closely, I could not assure you my 
patch is completly safe for 3.16.
