AFAIK, binutils moved to GPL 3. Therefore I don't expect that
QEMU will update to upstream in the next years.
We'll have to maintain the code which we have.
Try "git log *-dis.c" or "gitk *-dis.c": there are already lots
of more trivial changes which got applied to the disassembler files.
=> The patch should be applied.

Here is some additional information:
binutils switched from GPL 2 to GPL 3 with version 2.18:
Changes in 2.18:
* The binutils sources are now released under version 3 of the GNU General
Public License.
sparc-dis.c is already based on 2.17, so we won't get anything newer.
Even the latest version still uses the redundant NULL check, so I
can send my patch to the binutils maintainers, too.

Stefan
