I had a go, but the patch doesn't (fully) apply to 8-STABLE.  I notice 
there's been other work done to acpi_ec in the 5 months since the last 
MFC, and I thought it unlikely that the version in HEAD to which your 
patch applies could be brought in stand-alone.  I'll certainly check 
that there's no regression on my Thinkpad T23 when it is MFC'd.

cheers, Ian
