I have responded to the ticket and added proper patches for both 8.09 and trunk, both tested and working on an sflash router. Original 8.09 patch was missing one file change (linker inclusion for the new sflash.o object) in patches/004-flash.patch, which would have caused a kernel build failure due to missing function references.
