<id>urn:sha1:833c9b848d8fab75497a7bb9741d58faeb2810cf</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 524f42fab787a9510be826ce3d736b56d454ac6d upstream.

The ECDT of ASUSTEK L4R doesn't provide correct command and data
I/O ports.  The DSDT provides the correct information instead.

For this reason, add this machine to quirk list for ECDT validation
and use the EC information from the DSDT.

<content type='text'>
commit eff9a4b62b14cf0d9913e3caf1f26f8b7a6105c9 upstream.

HP Folio 13's BIOS defines CMOS RTC Operation Region and the EC's
_REG method will access that region.  To allow the CMOS RTC region
handler to be installed before the EC _REG method is first invoked,
add ec_skip_dsdt_scan() as HP Folio 13's callback to ec_dmi_table.

<title>ACPI / EC: Restart transaction even when the IBF flag set</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9e5124c57d380d616aef157c0f9e05ef0c80d1ca</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 28fe5c825f8e15744d04c7c1b8df197950923ecd upstream.

The EC driver works abnormally with IBF flag always set.
IBF means "The host has written a byte of data to the command
or data port, but the embedded controller has not yet read it".
If IBF is set in the EC status and not cleared, this will cause
all subsequent EC requests to fail with a timeout error.

Change the EC driver so that it doesn't refuse to restart a
transaction if IBF is set in the status.  Also increase the
number of transaction restarts to 5, as it turns out that 2
is not sufficient in some cases.

This bug happens on several different machines (Asus V1S,
Dell Latitude E6530, Samsung R719, Acer Aspire 5930G,
Sony Vaio SR19VN and others).

commit 67bfa9b60bd689601554526d144b21d529f78a09 upstream.

By enlarging the GPE storm threshold back to 20, that laptop's
EC works fine with interrupt mode instead of polling mode.

<id>urn:sha1:e607831667a88ca3a545659adf0920415c52148f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a520d52e99b14ba7db135e916348f12f2a6e09be upstream.

The Linux EC driver includes a mechanism to detect GPE storms,
and switch from interrupt-mode to polling mode.  However, polling
mode sometimes doesn't work, so the workaround is problematic.
Also, different systems seem to need the threshold for detecting
the GPE storm at different levels.

ACPI_EC_STORM_THRESHOLD was initially 20 when it's created, and
was changed to 8 in 2.6.28 commit 06cf7d3c7 "ACPI: EC: lower interrupt storm
threshold" to fix kernel bug 11892 by forcing the laptop in that bug to
work in polling mode. However in bug 45151, it works fine in interrupt
mode if we lift the threshold back to 20.

This patch makes the threshold a module parameter so that user has a
flexible option to debug/workaround this issue.

The default is unchanged.

This is also a preparation patch to fix specific systems:

<title>ACPI: EC: add another DMI check for ASUS hardware</title>

<id>urn:sha1:af986d101d141f10231ffa7e40ae397dc7356857</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 0adf3c746a73684b3f8c2821a584e1db998f61e9 introduced a regression
by making the ECDT validation test for ASUS hardware more restrictive.
The previous test used the dmi_name_in_vendors function which searches
a number of DMI fields, while the new test checked only the BIOS
vendor, which is known to not match on an ASUS F5GL laptop which
requires ECDT validation.

Add a rule to ec_dmi_table based on an alternative DMI pattern for
ASUS hardware as found elsewhere in the kernel.
