Darren,

Thank you for your assistance.

The version gap in the earlier v3 comment reflected my earlier gap in 
verification. Today I stepped through the additional kernel versions to 
confirm the patch applies successfully to those versions, and have 
submitted the patch as v4.

Kernel version 3.18.27 already handles the 17" model of the ideapad Y700, 
so it would seem odd not to also handle the 15" model.

Kind regards,

John
