You are using the latest version of the BIOS and embedded controller ("slave
controller") for the T22?

Please report this as a bug against the ACPI EC (embedded controller)
component, through http://bugzilla.kernel.org, or send a bug report to
linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well, first I'd make sure the firmware is the most up-to-date version
available.  Then I'd suggest opening a bug report in bugzilla.kernel.org, as
that's the preferred way to report and track bugs in the ACPI subsystem.

It looks like some problem either in the EC handling in Linux, or a bug in
the EC firmware itself, which maybe Linux could work around.
