Sorry, if I was nor precise enough and forgot about CCing the
linux-stable email-address.

With jumping to Linux v3.16.y I have 1st seen that my battery reports
85% whereas the LED shows me it's full (green vs. charging orange).
So, I hoped the fix from Bjorn fixes the issue for me but did not help here.
Those acpi-battery fixes are labeled for 3.16+, don't you get them
automatically and consider for inclusion?

No, I did not try the pending ACPI patches in the stable-queue tree.
Is there a stable-review v3.16.3-rc1 around?
