Would it not be safer to only backport the relevant code to allow the modules to build against the 3.5 kernel, given that this has to be an SRU? I see your new upstream in the branch you proposed, but I do wonder whether updating to a new upstream release is a bit heavy handed, and I am not sure it will even be approved.
