Bug#358816: (Bugs 356933, 358816) linux-2.6: snd-powermac should depend on i2c-powermac

Forwarding my follow-up to bug 356933: since this was reported on a
package which no longer exists, my follow-up went to the BTS but not
to debian-kernel.
Bug 358816 appears to be another report of the same problem.

Subject: linux-2.6: snd-powermac should depend on i2c-powermac
Package: linux-2.6
Followup-For: Bug #356933
I also experienced the modprobe segfault and kernel Oops reported in bug
356933.
The upstream changelog for 2.6.16 mentions changes to snd-powermac due to
the replacement of i2c-keywest with i2c-powermac. i2c-powermac was not
loaded on my system after an upgrade to 2.6.16, but adding it to
/etc/modules and rebooting caused snd-powermac to work correctly.
I no longer have an i2c-keywest module.
snd_pmac_tumbler_init() in sound/ppc/tumbler.c contains:
#ifdef CONFIG_KMOD
if (current->fs->root)
request_module("i2c-keywest");
#endif /* CONFIG_KMOD */
which presumably at least needs to be amended to "i2c-powermac". A hard
dependency or a more graceful failure mode would seem to be a better solution,
though.
(I'm using linux-image-2.6.16-1-powerpc with initramfs-tools and udev,
on a PowerBook3,5 Titanium IV, if that's relevant. The sound device
is described as a "Snapper" by /proc/asound and as "TAS3004" by sysfs.)
