3.16.49-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Lv Zheng <lv.zh...@intel.com>
commit df9ff91801da603079018f21a9412385b62f0f8e upstream.
It is reported that the following commit breaks Samsung hardware:
Commit: 558e4736f2e1b0e6323adf7a5e4df77ed6cfc1a4.
Subject: ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued before
completing previous QR_EC
Which means the Samsung behavior conflicts with the Acer behavior.
1. Samsung may behave like:
[ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
[ +event 2 ] SCI_EVT set
write QR_EC
read event
[ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT clear
Without the above commit, Samsung can work:
[ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
[ +event 2 ] SCI_EVT set
write QR_EC
CAN prepare next QR_EC as SCI_EVT=1
read event
[ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT clear
write QR_EC
read event
[ -event 2 ] SCI_EVT clear
With the above commit, Samsung cannot work:
[ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
[ +event 2 ] SCI_EVT set
write QR_EC
read event
[ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT clear
CANNOT prepare next QR_EC as SCI_EVT=0
2. Acer may behave like:
[ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
[ +event 2 ]
write QR_EC
read event
[ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT clear
[ +event 2 ] SCI_EVT set
Without the above commit, Acer cannot work when there is only 1 event:
[ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
write QR_EC
can prepared next QR_EC as SCI_EVT=1
read event
[ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT clear
CANNOT write QR_EC as SCI_EVT=0
With the above commit, Acer can work:
[ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
[ +event 2 ]
write QR_EC
read event
[ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
can prepare next QR_EC because SCI_EVT=0
CAN write QR_EC as SCI_EVT=1
Since Acer can also work with only the following commit applied:
Commit: 3afcf2ece453e1a8c2c6de19cdf06da3772a1b08
Subject: ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued when
SCI_EVT isn't set
commit 558e4736f2e1b0e6323adf7a5e4df77ed6cfc1a4 can be reverted.
Fixes: 558e4736f2e1 (ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued ...)
