Yep, I think something like attached patch may help:

Ok.
if (!wait_event_timeout(ec->wait, ec_check_ibf0(ec),
-                               msecs_to_jiffies(ACPI_EC_DELAY))) {

Shouldn't this go under the spinlock?  Surely it can race with the GPE handler.

No, we discussed this before -- we are outside of the transaction, thus no GPE
activity could interfere with ec_check_ibf0.
