I wonder how this patch and patch #22 ([PATCH 3.18 22/85] parisc: drivers.c: Fix section mismatches)
reached the stable trees?
I haven't tagged upstream commit 01f56832cfb6fcc204e7203f46841b6185ebd574 or 
b819439fea305a0bfd6ca23a7994fd1a8847c0d8 for backport.

Anyway, I'd suggest not to apply both.
I haven't tested them in those old kernels....
