According to the Windows probing result, during the table loading, ECDT EC should be used. And the ECDT EC is also effective during the period the namespace objects are initialized (we can see a separate process executing _STA/_INI on Windows before executing other device specific control methods). During the device enumration, the EC device described in DSDT should be used. But there are differences between Linux and Windows around the device probing order. Thus in Linux, we should enable early EC accesses in order not to trigger issues by the device enumeration order difference. This patch thus converts acpi_boot_ec_enable() into acpi_ec_dsdt_probe() to fix the gap. This also fixes a regression reported by the real Linux users after we switched table loading/ECDT support to be ACPI spec 2.0 compliant.
