From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx> The EC driver is the last user of acpi_set_gpe() and since it is guaranteed that the EC GPE will not be shared, acpi_disable_gpe() and acpi_enable_gpe() may be used for disabling the GPE temporarilty if a GPE storm is detected and re-enabling it during EC transactions.
