You only need the changes from Andrew in case there is something in
there that you require, you should look at the changelog to be sure.
But, the at91sam9261 is already for several years in mainline and it
works fine (even much older kernels than 2.6.33 will work without it,
for example we used 2.6.24, 2.6.26, 2.6.31 without it), Andrews
patchset is just a set of additional changes that will likely be
pushed to mainline at some time.
