Rafael, this patch is in the acpica.git tree as 7a3bd2d ("Dispatcher: Update
thread ID for recursive method calls"). I've had many positive testing
results from hardware vendors and users with this patch and this resolves
many of the problems seen here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115121
This does not fix the problems with the TB docking station. Although this
patch will also be required, the docking station issues require a FW update.
Updated FW should be coming soon to resolve those problems.

The issue appears to be that the kworker thread attempts to acquire the
_E42 method's mutex twice when executing acpi_ps_execute_method() and
recursing through the entry method.
The current code does take the possiblity of this recursion into account,
however, it is only for the case where the walk_state has been populated.
This can be fixed by setting the thread id in the !walk_state case to
allow for recursion.
