Hi, Alexey
As I said in comment #37, the issue on Asus laptops can be fixed by your
patch. The remaing issue is that there still exists the warning messages before
EC driver is loaded. The function of ec_parse_device is called in the
acpi_ec_add. Before it is called, the EC I/O port is incorrect. So when EC is
accessed, there exists the warning message. Right?
>ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction
>[18.125459] ACPI Exception (evregion-0420): AE_TIME, Returned by Handler
for [EmbeddedControl] [20070126]
In theory the info obtained from ECDT table should be consistent with that
obtained from DSDT table(For example: I/O address; GPE number). If they are
inconsistent, maybe there exists the problem. For example: Some Asus laptops.
In the patch of comment #38 the info obtained from ECDT table will be
compared with that obtained from DSDT table when there exists the ECDT table.
If they are not consistent, it is superseded by the info obtained from DSDT
table. I don't know how this punish the "good vendors".
At the same time it is still necessary to check the ECDT table. When ECDT
table exists, the EC device can be initialized earlier.
Welcome your comments.
thanks.
