I'm going to send a more in-depth analysis of the ACPI vs suspend problems I
see in our current code later.  For now, appended is an alternative to the
$subject patch that turns off the EC transactions after executing _PTS, but
assumes that there's only one EC in the system.

Subject: ACPI / EC: Remover race between EC driver and suspend process

There is a race between the suspend process and the EC driver that
may result in suspending in the middle of an EC transaction in
progress, which may lead to unpredictable behavior of the platform.

To remove that race condition, add functions for suspending and
resuming the EC transactions in a safe way to be executed by the 
ACPI platform suspend/resume callbacks.  Modify these callbacks so
that the EC transactions are suspended right after executing the _PTS
global control method and resumed right before executing the _WAK
global control method.
