Beware, the context line: static struct dmi_system_id ec_dmi_table[] __initdata = { has changed in recent kernels, so that line of the patch would need to be different for it to apply older kernels. It used to be this: static struct dmi_system_id __initdata ec_dmi_table[] = { until 3.11 I guess.
It is just a context line and is not important for the patch itself.
See: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/acpi/ec.c?v=3.11 http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/acpi/ec.c?v=3.12
