That isn't a minor issue.

tulip-dmfe-carrier-detection-fix.patch was added in rc6-mm2.  But you're
not using that (corrent?)

git-netdev-all changes drivers/net/tulip/de2104x.c, but you're not using
that either.

git-powerpc(!) alters drivers/net/tulip/de4x5.c, but you're not using that.

Beats me, sorry.  Perhaps it's due to changes in networking core.  It's
presumably a showstopper for statically-linked-uli526x users.  If you could
bisect it, please?  I'd start with git-netdev-all, then tulip-*.
