Thanks for the patch. 
   It seems that the code path in the function of ec_parse_device is
incorrect.
   Whether the ec->global_lock is assigned to a value should be based on
the returned value of acpi_evaluate_integer(handle, "_GLK", NULL, &tmp).
   If AE_OK is returned, the ec->global_lock is assigned to true.
Otherwise it should be False.
   Is this OK?
 
Thanks.
