I do, and bbc.ko now loads and unloads with this patch:

Feb 19 15:25:33 sparc kernel: i2c-0: Regs at 000007fe7e00002e, 8 devices, own a0, clock 10.
Feb 19 15:25:33 sparc kernel: i2c-1: Regs at 000007fe7e000030, 8 devices, own a0, clock 10.
Feb 19 15:25:49 sparc kernel: bbc_envctrl: kenvctrld starting...

It does take quite some time to load, but I'm sure this patch didn't cause that.
