But... aren't those fixes only needed due to changes you made
elsewhere?

It worked when Marek submitted it, right?  So something else was
changed?

This sounds as if it was a Bad Thing to use mainline code.  This is an
attitude I do not understand.  Is it not that out-of-tree code that
breaks things?  So if changes are needed, should the focus not be on
getting rid of the out-of-tree code - either by pushing it upstream,
or, if it is not acceptable for mainline, by dropping it? It may make
sense to use out-of-tree code in certain configurations, but to make
it mandatory for all looks the wrong approach to me.

But this is not the problem. The problem is that you added a modifi-
cation which introduced a bug, and then complain, and blame others
for the resulting build breakage.

Best regards,
