I don't think there is any use in backporting the global type change,
that is too invasive and does not change much. The specific bug
in the acpi code dates back to when acpi_ec_add_debugfs() was
added in 2.6.36, so that is the earliest point it could be backported
to. Then again, as I said it is only a problem on big-endian 64-bit
architectures, and on ACPI that would specifically mean arm64, which
only very recently gained ACPI support, so backporting to 4.1 is probably
enough.
