I am just wondering if somebody is going to pick up this patch 
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/41235/) so that it finds its way on 
mainline.

The i.MX25 PDK platform (3DStack) has been broken for 2 kernel releases (as 
the actual code depend on this). Is there hope that this patch is picked up by 
somebody in order to get merged to main line someday?

Or is it not acceptable in this state for some reason?

Either the FEC changes need to be merged (possibly with some modification if 
there are issues) or the part depending on it in the ARM tree need to be 
reverted. We should not stay in this non coherent state.
