           Summary: Oops: ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting
                    transaction
           Product: ACPI
           Version: 2.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: EC
        AssignedTo: acpi...@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: sudormrfh...@gmail.com
        Regression: No


First of all kernels before 2.6.32 did not observe anything like that.

All necessary information about my hardware is here
http://ru.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Acer_Aspire_5730ZG

In sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.32 and sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.32 after
loading the same symptoms: in the first place is not working brightness control
for display; second in dmesg watch spam

"ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction"

"ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.AMW0.WMCA]
(Node ffff8800bbc3f3e0), AE_TIME
ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction
ACPI Exception: AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl]
(20090903/evregion-424)"

the third is markedly reduced performance.

the spam in dmesg is very similar to this error
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13689

all-info* includes output of 
/usr/src/linux/scripts/ver_linux; cat /proc/cmdline; cat /proc/cpuinfo; cat
/proc/modules; cat /proc/ioports; cat /proc/iomem; lspci -vvv; cat
/proc/scsi/scsi

The solution was CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME = y
