The latter is in correspondence with the ACPI 3.0 specification, whereas the former is added in order to be able to power up a device after it has been previously disabled (or when booting up a system). (As a consequence, the patch makes the PnP ACPI code more ACPI compliant.) The patch fixes the problem with some IBM ThinkPads (at least the 600E and the 600X) where the serial ports have a dedicated power source that needs to be brought up before the serial port can be used. Without this patch, the serial port is enabled but has no power. No regressions were observed on hardware that does not require this patch.
