NAK.
As already mentioned, there is no point to put this workaround in ec.c.
Instead, it should be placed into acpi_register_operation_region, or may
be even
higher (like a flag to ignore errors during execution of the method).

Alex.

Looking at this patch, I see that it solves a very specific case, namely
the AE_NOT_FOUND exception. However, this is just one of many exceptions
that we may want to ignore. In fact, I wonder if in the general case we
should just ignore all exceptions from _REG methods, other than printing
some kind of message.
Yes. This patch only solves the specific case. For example: in the bug
8953, 10237.
But if all the exceptions from the _REG methods are ignored, it will be
too aggressive. Maybe some potential problems will be hidden. We had
better wait for that more people complain the similar bugs.
Thanks.

Thanks. Queued for test. How urgent is this? Do we need to consider it
for .27?
-Andi
It will be great if you can put this in .27.
