Yes, your patch is good and should be applied.

| Cool.

Good, thanks for the info.

| # --------------------------------------------
| # 03/10/10	noah@xxxxxxxxxxx	1.1345
| # Remove the prototypes for tosh_get_info from include/linux/toshiba.h and
| # make the function's definition in drivers/char/toshiba.c static.  This
| # function is specific to toshiba.c, so no other file needs the prototype.

| # This allows drivers/char/toshiba.c to compile with CONFIG_PROC_FS=n and
| # allows one to link more than one driver that includes toshiba.h into the
| # kernel at the same time without a multiple declaration; for example, both
| # drivers/char/toshiba.c and drivers/video/neofb.c.
