Yes, I have built and run the Mesa port on FreeBSD several times with
this patch.  In any case, it is very simple to show the patch does not
change the output at all.  Just use GNU as to assemble the following two
lines:

        movzx    0x14(%rdx),%eax
        movzbl    0x14(%rdx),%eax

and then disassemble the resulting .o file, which gives:

example.o:     file format elf64-x86-64

Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <.text>:
   0:   0f b6 42 14             movzbl 0x14(%rdx),%eax
   4:   0f b6 42 14             movzbl 0x14(%rdx),%eax

E.g exactly the same opcodes are produced, so nothing will change in the
actual behaviour of the routine at runtime.  The only difference is that
now the .S file is unambiguous.
