Rafael, this patch is in the acpica.git tree as 7a3bd2d ("Dispatcher: Update
thread ID for recursive method calls"). I've had many positive testing
results from hardware vendors and users with this patch and this resolves
many of the problems seen here:

This does not fix the problems with the TB docking station. Although this
patch will also be required, the docking station issues require a FW update.
Updated FW should be coming soon to resolve those problems.
No kidding!?! Will that update be installable from Linux? If so, could
you cc me on that?

The issue appears to be that the kworker thread attempts to acquire the
_E42 method's mutex twice when executing acpi_ps_execute_method() and
recursing through the entry method.
The current code does take the possiblity of this recursion into account,
however, it is only for the case where the walk_state has been populated.
This can be fixed by setting the thread id in the !walk_state case to
allow for recursion.

I don't care at all what variant of this patch is applied, but it would
be nice to get it in for 4.6. This fixes hotplug for me and I suspect
it also fixes some occasional suspend/resume failures I've seen.
