Lv Zheng c712bb58d8 ACPI / EC: Add support to skip boot stage DSDT probe
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.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
