As no one else seems to be replying, I'll take a stab.

First of all, the patch applied cleanly on my mainline 4.0-rc4 source. Patch 
offsets are no problem, but if there is fuzz, you do need to check the patched 
source around line 1409 to see if it differs from what the patch intended. If 
you are not familiar with patches, any line that starts with a minus is to be 
removed. Those with a plus are to be added, while those that start with a space 
are left alone. Check that routine m88ds3103_frontend_attach() is OK.

After applying the patch cleanly, my source compiled with no errors. I'm not 
sure what has happened to your kernel build, but I would find out what is wrong 
with your patch.
