why there is a gap from 3.18 to 4.1.

What you probably meant was:

Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 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).


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
