No, there's nothing else you need to do. The patches fromPaul change the
opkg download cache to use checksums rather than the entire url as the
filename, which avoids the file name length problem.

I would not apply the first patch in the series, however, since that's not
related to this. The first patch (memory leak fix) caused double-free
failures in glibc in our testing.
