Hi, I'd like to report a minor issue I have with the ACPI embedded controller driver. My laptop (XPS13 9333) has two function keys to control the screen brightness. When pressed, two _Qxx ACPI methods are called, one to increase and one to decrease the brightness. Both the methods sleep for 200ms. This pause of 200ms is causing some problems when I keep one of the function keys pressed. In this situation, more queries than needed are scheduled for a delayed execution, making the screen brightness change even after the function key is released. Here below you can see some log lines that show the problem. If I keep the function key pressed for X seconds, it will take roughly 2X seconds for all the queries to be executed. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Thanks, Gabriele [ 47.213439] ACPI : EC: ===== IRQ (1) ===== [ 47.213455] ACPI : EC: EC_SC(R) = 0x20 SCI_EVT=1 BURST=0 CMD=0 IBF=0 OBF=0 [ 47.213458] ACPI : EC: ***** Event started ***** [ 47.213509]
