Many thanks for the report, I've queued up 252714155f04 now. I don't think 4ee2ec1b1225 needs to be merged, unless the acpi maintainers think it is a good idea to do so.
Rafael, any thoughts?
FWIW we applied both in SUSE kernels. I did not make the decision but I approve it. Having duplicated code in our kernel when there's only one occurrence of the same code upstream looks dangerous. If there ever is a bug fixed in that function and we backport the fix, you can be sure that only one of the copies will get fixed and the bug will remain in the other.
