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:
