Thomas Renninger 500de3dd46 acpi ec_sys: Be more cautious about ec write access
- Set Kconfig option default n
- Only allow root to read/write io file (sever bug!)
- Introduce write support module param -> default off
- Properly clean up if any debugfs files cannot be created

Thomas Renninger 9827886dce ACPI: Provide /sys/kernel/debug//ec/ec0/io for binary access to the EC
A userspace app to easily read/write the EC can be found here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/sources/ec/ec_access.c

Multiple ECs are not supported, but shouldn't be hard to add as soon
as the ec driver itself will support them.

Thomas Renninger 1195a09816 ACPI: Provide /sys/kernel/debug/ec/...
This patch provides the same information through debugfs, which previously was
provided through /proc/acpi/embedded_controller/*/info

This is the gpe the EC is connected to and whether the global lock
gets used.
The io ports used are added to /proc/ioports in another patch.
Beside the fact that /proc/acpi is deprecated for quite some time,
this info is not needed for applications and thus can be moved
to debugfs instead of a public interface like /sys.
