0001-acer-wmi-does-not-allow-negative-number-set-to-init.patch

Martin, 

Thank's for your test, that means we confirm this issue that was caused by
Matthew
fixed the capitalisation of WMID_GUID1.

After trace DSDT and acer-wmi initial function, I found acer-wmi feed minus
value to EC by wmi method but looks like the AML code in DSDT doesn't check it.
So, I submit this patch to kernel upstream to add the check in acer-wmi driver.

Sorry, I have no Aspire 8930G machine to check.
Please kindly help to try this patch, of course, please reverse my test patch,
first.

I thought this patch can fix issue, if NOT, that means EC code/driver doesn't
set ECMC flag back to 0 after EC consumed value from wmi. Then we will need EC
expert's help for more detail to trace this issue.
