This surely can't both be so important that it should go into stable
updates, yet so unimportant that it can wait for 3.6.

You're right. This patch was part of a pull-request titled:
"[GIT PULL FIXES FOR 3.5]: gspca & radio fixes"

Mauro, as the title of the mail suggested this pull-req contains
only fixes, which should really go into 3.5. Esp. The one pointed
out by Ben, but for example also the bttv fixes really belong in 3.5
(another user has already independently verified that they fix the
radio on his bttv card too). They really are all bug-fixes :)

Regards,

Hans
