Yes, it is part of the 2.6.28 release, having been committed to Linus'
tree in Sep 08. It's also in 2.6.27.x, by the way.

From a user's perspective it doesn't make a difference if the patch
fixes the underlying issue or if it's "just" a workaround. What does
matter is that the fix has gotten a good amount of testing and is
confirmed to work.
This turned out to be a bug in the 4965's firmware, so the "proper" fix
is in jaunty since linux-firmware 1.3.

intrepid.
