Why do you think so?

If I apply your patch manually to the 1450 kernel, in the same way
rpm will do, I see:

patching file drivers/net/8139too.c
Hunk #4 succeeded at 997 (offset 20 lines).
Hunk #6 succeeded at 2131 (offset 20 lines).
Hunk #8 succeeded at 2177 (offset 20 lines).
Hunk #10 succeeded at 2212 (offset 20 lines).
Hunk #12 succeeded at 2235 (offset 20 lines).

So the patch looks more-or-less ok...

It doesn't look so... the -p1 strips the first path component.

Maybe you can post the output of the rpmbuild that fails?
