Thank you; I didn't realize this had already been fixed upstream.

stable/linux-3.2.y was v3.2.13 = 02905906ddc049720ded93ded03bbc2652f4646a.
That version has the bug; acer-wmi blocks WLAN on my VAIO as reported.
Cherry-picking 5719b81988f3c24ff694dc3a37e35b35630a3966 fixes it.
I deviated from your instructions by not using -s in git cherry-pick.
