See stable_kernel_rules.txt for how to specify relevant versions. I'm curious
why there is a gap from 3.18 to 4.1.

What you probably meant was:

Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 3.18.x

If you are going to take this approach, you may wish to verify that this applies
back to 3.18, otherwise you may need to specify dependencies (also described in
the stable_kernel_rules).

My recommendation would be to simply leave the version off and let Greg and the
other maintainers decide how far back to apply it, unless you really care about
3.18 working on these laptops.

If you don't mind leaving it up to them I can take this as is, otherwise, you'll
need to update the Cc stable lines accordingly.
