Before you go changing the logic, please...
Try adjusting these parameters, including other values besides these:
debug.acpi.ec.timeout=1000 # 1 sec total
debug.acpi.ec.poll_time=100 # 100 usec polling (or try larger like 800)

Try the above values both with and without burst mode.

Would you please submit the output requested above, along with sysctl
debug.acpi.ec so I can know what parameters you were using?

Your patch just goes straight into msleep() instead of doing any
DELAY(). Does enabling the "#if 0" code right before your patch help?
Please revert your patch and try the above. We need to reduce the
amount of variation to track it down.
