After commit 8110dd281e (ACPI / sleep: EC-based wakeup from
suspend-to-idle on recent systems) the configuration of GPEs,
including the EC one, is not changed during suspend-to-idle on
recent systems. That's in order to make system wakeup events
generated by the EC work, in particular.
However, on some of the systems in question (for example on Dell
XPS13 9365), in addition to generating system wakeup events the
EC generates a heartbeat sequence of interrupts that have nothing
to do with wakeup while suspended, and the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM
interface doesn't change that behavior.
The users of those systems may prefer to disable the EC GPE during
system suspend, for the cost of non-functional power button wakeup
or similar, but currently there is no way to do that.
For this reason, add a new module parameter, ec_no_wakeup, for the
EC driver module that, if set, will cause the EC GPE to be disabled
during system suspend and re-enabled during the subsequent system
resume.

On Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon - the 5th Generation, enabling an earlier
EC event freezing timing causes acpitz-virtual-0 to report a stuck
48C temparature. And with EC firmware revisioned as 1.14, without
reverting back to old EC event freezing timing, the fan still blows
up after a system resume.
This reverts the culprit change so that the regression can be fixed
without upgrading the EC firmware.

According to bug reports, although the busy polling mode can make
noirq stages execute faster, it causes abnormal fan blowing up after
system resume (see the first link below for a video demonstration)
on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon - the 5th Generation. The problem can
be fixed by upgrading the EC firmware on that machine.
However, many reporters confirm that the problem can be fixed by
stopping busy polling during suspend/resume and for some of them
upgrading the EC firmware is not an option.
For this reason, drop the noirq stage hooks from the EC driver
to fix the regression.

Some Asus laptops (verified on X550VXK/FX502VD/FX502VE) get no
interrupts when pressing media keys thus the corresponding functions
are not invoked. It's due to the _GPE defines in DSDT for EC returns
differnt value compared to the GPE Number in ECDT. Confirmed with Asus
that the vale in ECDT is the correct one. This commit uses DMI quirks
to prevent calling _GPE when doing ec_parse_device() and keep the ECDT
GPE number setting for the EC device.
With previous commit, it is ensured that if there is an ECDT, it can
always be kept as boot_ec, this patch thus can implement a quirk on
top of the determined ECDT boot_ec.

We prepared _INI/_STA methods for \_SB, \_SB.PCI0, \_SB.LID0 and
\_SB.EC, _HID(PNP0C09)/_CRS/_GPE for \_SB.EC to poke Windows behavior
with qemu, we got the following execution sequence:
\_SB._INI
\_SB.PCI0._STA
\_SB.LID0._STA
\_SB.EC._STA
\_SB.PCI0._INI
\_SB.LID0._INI
\_SB.EC._INI
There is no extra DSDT EC device enumeration process occurring before
the main ACPI device enumeration process. That means acpi_ec_dsdt_probe()
is not Windows-compatible.
Tracking back, it was added by the following commit:
Commit: c5279dee26
Subject: ACPI: EC: Add some basic check for ECDT data
but that commit was misguided.
Why we shouldn't enumerate DSDT EC before the main ACPI device
enumeration?
The only way to know if the DSDT EC is valid would be to evaluate its
_STA control method, but it's not safe to evaluate this control method
that early and out of the ACPI enumeration process, because _STA may
refer to entities (such as resources or ACPI device objects) that may
not have been initialized before OSPM starts to enumerate them via
the main ACPI device enumeration.
But after we had reverted back to the expected behavior, a regression
was reported. On that platform, there is no ECDT, but the platform
control methods access EC operation region earlier than Linux expects
causing some ACPI method execution errors. For this reason, we just
go back to old behavior to still probe DSDT EC as the boot EC.
However, that turns out to lead to yet another functional breakage
and in order to work around all of the problems, we skip boot stage
DSDT probe when the ECDT exists so that a later quirk can always use
correct ECDT GPE setting.

The EC event IRQ (SCI_EVT) can only be handled by submitting QR_EC. As the
EC driver handles SCI_EVT in a workqueue, after SCI_EVT is flagged and
before QR_EC is submitted, there is a period risking IRQ storming. EC IRQ
must be masked for this period but linux EC driver never does so.
No end user notices the IRQ storming and no developer fixes this known
issue because:
1. The EC IRQ is always edge triggered GPE, and
2. The kernel can execute no-op EC IRQ handler very fast.
For edge-triggered EC GPE platforms, it is only reported of post-resume EC
event lost issues, there won't be an IRQ storming. For level triggered EC
GPE platforms, fortunately the kernel is always fast enough to execute such
a no-op EC IRQ handler so that the IRQ handler won't be accumulated to
starve the task contexts, causing a real IRQ storming.
But the IRQ storming actually can still happen when:
1. The EC IRQ performs like level triggered GPE, and
2. The kernel EC debugging log is turned on but the console is slow enough.
There are more and more platforms using EC GPE as wake GPE where the EC GPE
is likely designed as level triggered. Then when EC debugging log is
enabled, the EC IRQ handler is no longer a no-op but dumps IRQ status to
the consoles. If the consoles are slow enough, the EC IRQs can arrive much
faster than executing the handler. Finally the accumulated EC event IRQ
handlers starve the task contexts, causing the IRQ storming to occur, and
the kernel hangs can be observed during boot/resume.
This patch fixes this issue by masking EC IRQ for this period:
1. Begins when there is an SCI_EVT IRQ pending, and
2. Ends when there is a QR_EC completed (SCI_EVT acknowledged).

Some recent Dell laptops, including the XPS13 model numbers 9360 and
9365, cannot be woken up from suspend-to-idle by pressing the power
button which is unexpected and makes that feature less usable on
those systems. Moreover, on the 9365 ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) is
not expected to be used at all (the OS these systems ship with never
exercises the ACPI S3 path in the firmware) and suspend-to-idle is
the only viable system suspend mechanism there.
The reason why the power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle doesn't
work on those systems is because their power button events are
signaled by the EC (Embedded Controller), whose GPE (General Purpose
Event) line is disabled during suspend-to-idle transitions in Linux.
That is done on purpose, because in general the EC tends to be noisy
for various reasons (battery and thermal updates and similar, for
example) and all events signaled by it would kick the CPUs out of
deep idle states while in suspend-to-idle, which effectively might
defeat its purpose.
Of course, on the Dell systems in question the EC GPE must be enabled
during suspend-to-idle transitions for the button press events to
be signaled while suspended at all, but fortunately there is a way
out of this puzzle.
First of all, those systems have the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag set
in their ACPI tables, which means that the OS is expected to prefer
the "low power S0 idle" system state over ACPI S3 on them. That
causes the most recent versions of other OSes to simply ignore ACPI
S3 on those systems, so it is reasonable to expect that it should not
be necessary to block GPEs during suspend-to-idle on them.
Second, in addition to that, the systems in question provide a special
firmware interface that can be used to indicate to the platform that
the OS is transitioning into a system-wide low-power state in which
certain types of activity are not desirable or that it is leaving
such a state and that (in principle) should allow the platform to
adjust its operation mode accordingly.
That interface is a special _DSM object under a System Power
Management Controller device (PNP0D80). The expected way to use it
is to invoke function 0 from it on system initialization, functions
3 and 5 during suspend transitions and functions 4 and 6 during
resume transitions (to reverse the actions carried out by the
former). In particular, function 5 from the "Low-Power S0" device
_DSM is expected to cause the platform to put itself into a low-power
operation mode which should include making the EC less verbose (so to
speak). Next, on resume, function 6 switches the platform back to
the "working-state" operation mode.
In accordance with the above, modify the ACPI suspend-to-idle code
to look for the "Low-Power S0" _DSM interface on platforms with the
ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag set in the ACPI tables. If it's there,
use it during suspend-to-idle transitions as prescribed and avoid
changing the GPE configuration in that case. [That should reflect
what the most recent versions of other OSes do.]
Also modify the ACPI EC driver to make it handle events during
suspend-to-idle in the usual way if the "Low-Power S0" _DSM interface
is going to be used to make the power button events work while
suspended on the Dell machines mentioned above

When GPE is not enabled, it is not efficient to use the wait polling mode
as it introduces an unexpected scheduler delay.
So before the GPE handler is installed, this patch uses busy polling mode
for all EC(s) and the logic can be applied to non boot EC(s) during the
suspend/resume process.

IRQ polling logic has been implemented to drain the post-boot/resume
EC events:
1. Triggered by the following code, invoked from acpi_ec_enable_event():
if (!test_bit(EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING, &ec->flags))
advance_transaction(ec);
2. Drained by the following code, invoked after acpi_ec_complete_query():
if (status & ACPI_EC_FLAG_SCI)
acpi_ec_submit_query(ec);
This facility is safer than the old CLEAR_ON_RESUME quirk as the
CLEAR_ON_RESUME quirk sends EC query commands unconditionally. The
behavior is apparently not suitable for firmware that requires
QUERY_HANDSHAKE quirk. Though the QUERY_HANDSHAKE quirk isn't used
now because of the improvement done in the EC transaction state
machine (ec_event_clearing=QUERY), it is the proof that we cannot
send EC query command unconditionally.
So it's time to delete the out-dated CLEAR_ON_RESUME quirk to let the
users to try the newer approach.

There are issues related to the boot_ec:
1. If acpi_ec_remove() is invoked, boot_ec will also be freed, this is not
expected as the boot_ec could be enumerated via ECDT.
2. Address space handler installation/unstallation lead to unexpected _REG
evaluations.
This patch adds acpi_is_boot_ec() check to be used to fix the above issues.
However, since acpi_ec_remove() actually won't be invoked, this patch
doesn't handle the reference counting of "struct acpi_ec", it only ensures
the correctness of the boot_ec destruction during the boot.

In order to support full ECDT (driving the ECDT EC after probing the
namespace EC), we need to change our EC device alloc/free algorithm, ensure
not to free old boot EC before qualifying new boot EC.
This patch achieves this by cleaning up first_ec/boot_ec logic:
1. first_ec: used to perform transactions, so it is assigned in new
acpi_ec_setup() function.
2. boot_ec: used to track early EC device, so it is assigned in new
acpi_config_boot_ec() function which explictly tells the driver to save
the EC device as early EC device.

In the original EC driver, though the event handling is not explicitly
stopped, the EC driver is actually not able to handle events during the
noirq stage as the EC driver is not prepared to handle the EC events in the
polling mode. So if there is no advance_transaction() triggered, the EC
driver couldn't notice the EC events.
However, do we actually need to handle EC events during suspend/resume
stage? EC events are mostly useless for the suspend/resume period (key
strokes and battery/thermal updates, etc.,), and the useful ones (lid
close, power/sleep button press) should have already been delivered to the
OSPM to trigger the power saving operations.
Thus this patch implements acpi_ec_disable_event() to be a reverse call of
acpi_ec_enable_event(), with which, the EC driver is able to stop handling
the EC events in a position before entering the noirq stage.
Since there are actually 2 choices for us:
1. implement event handling in polling mode;
2. stop event handling before entering noirq stage.
And this patch only implements the second choice using .suspend() callback.
Thus this is experimental (first choice is better? or different hook
position is better?). This patch finally keeps the old behavior by default
and prepares a boot parameter to enable this feature.
The differences of the event handling availability between the old behavior
(this patch is not applied) and the new behavior (this patch is applied)
are as follows:

suspend before EC Y Y

Where "actually N" means if there is no EC transactions, the EC driver
is actually not able to notice the pending events.
We can see that FreezeEvents is the only approach now can actually flush
the EC event handling with both query commands and _Qxx evaluations
flushed, other modes can only flush the EC event handling with only query
commands flushed, _Qxx evaluations occurred after stopping the EC driver
may end up failure due to the failure of the EC transaction carried out in
the _Qxx control methods.
We also can see that this feature should be able to trigger some platform
notifications later than resuming other drivers.

This patch makes 2 changes:
1. Restore old behavior
Originally, EC driver stops handling both events and transactions in
acpi_ec_block_transactions(), and restarts to handle transactions in
acpi_ec_unblock_transactions_early(), restarts to handle both events and
transactions in acpi_ec_unblock_transactions().
While currently, EC driver still stops handling both events and
transactions in acpi_ec_block_transactions(), but restarts to handle both
events and transactions in acpi_ec_unblock_transactions_early().
This patch tries to restore the old behavior by dropping
__acpi_ec_enable_event() from acpi_unblock_transactions_early().
2. Improve old behavior
However this still cannot fix the real issue as both of the
acpi_ec_unblock_xxx() functions are invoked in the noirq stage. Since the
EC driver actually doesn't implement the event handling in the polling
mode, re-enabling the event handling too early in the noirq stage could
result in the problem that if there is no triggering source causing
advance_transaction() to be invoked, pending SCI_EVT cannot be detected by
the EC driver and _Qxx cannot be triggered.
It actually makes sense to restart the event handling in any point during
resuming after the noirq stage. Just like the boot stage where the event
handling is enabled in .add(), this patch further moves
acpi_ec_enable_event() to .resume(). After doing that, the following 2
functions can be combined:
acpi_ec_unblock_transactions_early()/acpi_ec_unblock_transactions().
The differences of the event handling availability between the old behavior
(this patch isn't applied) and the new behavior (this patch is applied) are
as follows:
!Applied Applied
before suspend Y Y
suspend before EC Y Y
suspend after EC Y Y
suspend_late Y Y
suspend_noirq Y (actually N) Y (actually N)
resume_noirq Y (actually N) Y (actually N)
resume_late Y (actually N) Y (actually N)
resume before EC Y (actually N) Y (actually N)
resume after EC Y (actually N) Y
after resume Y (actually N) Y
Where "actually N" means if there is no triggering source, the EC driver
is actually not able to notice the pending SCI_EVT occurred in the noirq
stage. So we can clearly see that this patch has improved the situation.

After enabling the EC event handling, Linux is still in the noirq stage, if
there is no triggering source (EC transaction, GPE STS status),
advance_transaction() will not be invoked and SCI_EVT cannot be detected.
This patch adds one more triggering source after enabling the EC event
handling to poll the pending SCI_EVT.
Known issues:
1. Still no SCI_EVT triggering source
There could still be no SCI_EVT triggering source after handling the
first SCI_EVT (polled by this patch if any). Because after handling the
first SCI_EVT, Linux could still be in noirq stage and there could still
be no further triggering source in this stage. Then the second SCI_EVT
indicated during this stage still cannot be detected by the EC driver.
With this improvement applied, it is then possible to move
acpi_ec_enable_event() out of the noirq stage to fix this issue (if the
first SCI_EVT is handled out of the noirq stage, the follow-up SCI_EVTs
should be able to trigger IRQs).

It is reported that on some platforms, resume speed is not fast. The cause
is: in noirq stage, EC driver is working in polling mode, and each state
machine advancement requires a context switch.
The context switch is not necessary to the EC driver's polling mode. This
patch implements PM hooks to automatically switch the driver to/from the
busy polling mode to eliminate the overhead caused by the context switch.
This finally contributes to the tuning result: acpi_pm_finish() execution
time is improved from 192ms to 6ms.

A regression is caused by the following commit:
Commit: 02b771b64b
Subject: ACPI / EC: Fix an issue caused by the serialized _Qxx evaluations
In this commit, using system workqueue causes that the maximum parallel
executions of _Qxx can exceed 255. This violates the method reentrancy
limit in ACPICA and generates the following error log:
ACPI Error: Method reached maximum reentrancy limit (255) (20150818/dsmethod-341)
This patch creates a seperate workqueue and limits the number of parallel
_Qxx evaluations down to a configurable value (can be tuned against number
of online CPUs).
Since EC events are handled after driver probe, we can create the workqueue
in acpi_ec_init().

Our Windows probe result shows that EC._REG is evaluated after evaluating
all _INI/_STA control methods.
With boot EC always switched in acpi_ec_dsdt_probe(), we can see that as
long as there is no EC opregion accesses in the MLC (module level code, AML
code out of any control methods) and in _INI/_STA, there is no need to make
sure that ECDT must be correct.
Bugs of 9399/12461 were reported against an order issue that BAT0/1._STA
evaluations contain EC accesses while the ECDT setting is wrong.
>From the acpidump output posted on bug 9399, we can see that it is actually
a different issue. In this table, if EC._REG is not executed, EC accesses
will be done in a platform specific manner. As we've already ensured not to
execute EC._REG during the eary stage, we can remove the quirks for bug
9399.
From the acpidump output posted on bug 12461, we can see that it still
needs the quirk. In this table, EC._REG flags a named object whose default
value is One, thus BAT1._STA surely should invoke EC accesses whatever we
invoke EC._REG or not. We have to keep the quirk for it before we can root
cause the issue.

According to the Windows probing result, during the table loading, the EC
device described in the ECDT should be used. And the ECDT EC is also
effective during the period the namespace objects are initialized (we can
see a separate process executing _STA/_INI on Windows before executing
other device specific control methods, for example, EC._REG). During the
device enumration, the EC device described in the DSDT should be used. But
there are differences between Linux and Windows around the device probing
order. Thus in Linux, we should enable the DSDT EC as early as possible
before enumerating devices in order not to trigger issues related to the
device enumeration order differences.
This patch thus converts acpi_boot_ec_enable() into acpi_ec_dsdt_probe() to
fix the gap. This also fixes a user reported regression triggered after we
switched the "table loading"/"ECDT support" to be ACPI spec 2.0 compliant.

All operation region accesses are allowed by AML interpreter when AML is
executed, so actually BIOSen are responsible to avoid the operation region
accesses in AML before OSPM has prepared an operation region driver. This
is done via _REG control method. So AML code normally sets a global named
object REGC to 1 when _REG(3, 1) is evaluated.
Then what is ECDT? Quoting from ACPI spec 6.0, 5.2.15 Embedded Controller
Boot Resources Table (ECDT):
"The presence of this table allows OSPM to provide Embedded Controller
operation region space access before the namespace has been evaluated."
Spec also suggests a compatible mean to indicate the early EC access
availability:
Device (EC)
{
Name (REGC, Ones)
Method (_REG, 2)
{
If (LEqual (Arg0, 3))
{
Store (Arg1, REGC)
}
}
Method (ECAV)
{
If (LEqual (REGC, Ones))
{
If (LGreaterEqual (_REV, 2))
{
Return (One)
}
Else
{
Return (Zero)
}
}
Else
{
Return (REGC)
}
}
}
In this way, it allows EC accesses to happen before EC._REG(3, 1) is
invoked.
But ECAV is not the only way practical BIOSen using to indicate the early
EC access availibility, the known variations include:
1. Setting REGC to One in \_SB._INI when _REV >= 2. Since \_SB._INI is the
first control method evaluated by OSPM during the enumeration, this
allows EC accesses to happen for the entire enumeration process before
the namespace EC is enumerated.
2. Initialize REGC to One by default, this even allows EC accesses to
happen during the table loading.
Linux is now broken around ECDT support during the long term bug fixing
work because it has merged many wrong ECDT bug fixes (see details below).
Linux currently uses namespace EC's settings instead of ECDT settings when
ECDT is detected. This apparently will result in namespace walk and
_CRS/_GPE/_REG evaluations. Such stuffs could only happen after namespace
is ready, while ECDT is purposely to be used before namespace is ready.
The wrong bug fixing story is:
1. Link 1:
At Linux ACPI early stages, "no _Lxx/_Exx/_Qxx evaluation can happen
before the namespace is ready" are not ensured by ACPICA core and Linux.
This is currently ensured by deferred enabling of GPE and defered
registering of EC query methods (acpi_ec_register_query_methods).
2. Link 2:
Reporters reported buggy ECDTs, expecting quirks for the platform.
Originally, the quirk is simple, only doing things with ECDT.
Bug 9399 and 12461 are platforms (Asus L4R, Asus M6R, MSI MS-171F)
reported to have wrong ECDT IO port addresses, the port addresses are
reversed.
Bug 11880 is a platform (Asus X50GL) reported to have 0 valued port
addresses, we can see that all EC accesses are protected by ECAV on
this platform, so actually no early EC accesses is required by this
platform.
3. Link 3:
But when the bug fixing developer was requested to provide a handy and
non-quirk bug fix, he tried to use correct EC settings from namespace
and broke the spec purpose. We can even see that the developer was
suffered from many regrssions. One interesting one is 14086, where the
actual root cause obviously should be: _REG is evaluated too early. But
unfortunately, the bug is fixed in a totally wrong way.
So everything goes wrong from these commits:
Commit: c6cb0e8784
Subject: ACPI: EC: Don't trust ECDT tables from ASUS
Commit: a5032bfdd9
Subject: ACPI: EC: Always parse EC device
This patch reverts Linux behavior to simple ECDT quirk support in order to
stop early _CRS/_GPE/_REG evaluations.
For Bug 9399, 12461, since it is reported that the platforms require early
EC accesses, this patch restores the simple ECDT quirks for them.
For Bug 11880, since it is not reported that the platform requires early EC
accesses and its ACPI tables contain correct ECAV, we choose an ECDT
enumeration failure for this platform.

When the QR_EC transaction fails, the EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING flag prevents
the event handling work queue from being scheduled again.
Though there shouldn't be failed QR_EC transactions, and this gap was
efficiently used for catching and learning the SCI_EVT clearing timing
compliance issues, we need to fix this as we are not fully compatible
with all platforms/Windows to handle SCI_EVT clearing timing correctly.
Fixing this gives the EC driver the chances to recover from a state machine
failure.
So this patch fixes this issue. When nr_pending_queries drops to 0, it
clears EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING at the proper position for different modes in
order to ensure that the SCI_EVT handling can proceed.
In order to be clearer for future ec_event_clearing modes, all checks in
this patch are written in the inclusive style, not the exclusive style.

It is reported that on several platforms, EC firmware will not respond
non-expected QR_EC (see EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE, only write QR_EC when
SCI_EVT is set).
Unfortunately, ACPI specification doesn't define when the SCI_EVT should be
cleared by the firmware, thus the original implementation queued up second
QR_EC right after writing QR_EC command and before reading the returned
event value as at that time the SCI_EVT is ensured not cleared. This
behavior is also based on the assumption that the firmware should be able
to return 0x00 to indicate "no outstanding event". This behavior did fix
issues on Samsung platforms where the spurious query value of 0x00 is
supported and didn't break platforms in my test queue.
But recently, specific Acer, Asus, Lenovo platforms keep on blaming this
change.
This patch changes the behavior to re-check the SCI_EVT a bit later and
removes EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE quirks, hoping this is the Windows
compliant EC driver behavior.
In order to be robust to the possible regressions, instead of removing the
quirk directly, this patch keeps the quirk code, removes the quirk users
and keeps old behavior for Samsung platforms.

We've been suffering from the uncertainty of the SCI_EVT clearing timing.
This patch implements 3 of 4 possible modes to handle SCI_EVT clearing
variations. The old behavior is kept in this patch.
Status: QR_EC is re-checked as early as possible after checking previous
SCI_EVT. This always leads to 2 QR_EC transactions per SCI_EVT
indication and the target may implement event queue which returns
0x00 indicating "no outstanding event".
This is proven to be a conflict against Windows behavior, but is
still kept in this patch to make the EC driver robust to the
possible regressions that may occur on Samsung platforms.
Query: QR_EC is re-checked after the target has handled the QR_EC query
request command pushed by the host.
Event: QR_EC is re-checked after the target has noticed the query event
response data pulled by the host.
This timing is not determined by any IRQs, so we may need to use a
guard period in this mode, which may explain the existence of the
ec_guard() code used by the old EC driver where the re-check timing
is implemented in the similar way as this mode.
Method: QR_EC is re-checked as late as possible after completing the _Qxx
evaluation. The target may implement SCI_EVT like a level triggered
interrupt.
It is proven on kernel bugzilla 94411 that, Windows will have all
_Qxx evaluations parallelized. Thus unless required by further
evidences, we needn't implement this mode as it is a conflict of
the _Qxx parallelism requirement.
Note that, according to the reports, there are platforms that cannot be
handled using the "Status" mode without enabling the
EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE quirk. But they can be handled with the other
modes according to the tests (kernel bugzilla 97381).
The following log entry can be used to confirm the differences of the 3
modes as it should appear at the different positions for the 3 modes:
Command(QR_EC) unblocked
Status: appearing after
EC_SC(W) = 0x84
Query: appearing after
EC_DATA(R) = 0xXX
where XX is the event number used to determine _QXX
Event: appearing after first
EC_SC(R) = 0xX0 SCI_EVT=x BURST=0 CMD=0 IBF=0 OBF=0
that is next to the following log entry:
Command(QR_EC) completed by hardware

During the period that a work queue is scheduled (queued up for run) but
hasn't been run, second schedule_work() could fail. This may not lead to
the loss of queries because QR_EC is always ensured to be submitted after
the work queue has been in the running state.
The event handling work queue can be changed into the loop style to allow
us to control the code in a more flexible way:
1. Makes it possible to add event=0x00 termination condition in the loop.
2. Increases the thoughput of the QR_EC transactions as the 2nd+ QR_EC
transactions may be handled in the same work item used for the 1st QR_EC
transaction, thus the delay caused by the 2nd+ work item scheduling can
be eliminated.
Except the logging message changes and the throughput improvement, this
patch is just a funcitonal no-op.

Commit: 9e295ac14d
Subject: ACPI / EC: Reduce ec_poll() by referencing the last register access timestamp.
Commit: commit in the same series
Subject: ACPI / EC: Fix and clean up register access guarding logics.
The only case that is not covered is the inter-transaction guarding. And
there is no evidence that we need the inter-transaction guarding upon
reading the noted bug entries.
So it is time to remove the quirks and let the users to try again. If there
is a regression, the only thing we need to do is to restore the
inter-transaction guarding for the reported platforms.
