Oh...  that actually does seem to be the case.  I did a cherry-pick
of just the commit I mentioned on top of 3.8.6 and it seems I resolved
the conflict by including in changes for both.  The conflict came up as:

<<<<<<< HEAD
        /* Acer Aspire 4736Z */
        { 0x2a42, 0x1025, 0x0260, quirk_invert_brightness },
=======
        /* Acer/eMachines G725 */
        { 0x2a42, 0x1025, 0x0210, quirk_invert_brightness },

        /* Acer/eMachines e725 */
        { 0x2a42, 0x1025, 0x0212, quirk_invert_brightness },

Thanks for catching that.

Yeah.  I'm happy to split them up and send them out separately.  Or if
Greg wants to just list both upstream commit IDs with a single backport,
that would also be fine.
