[PATCH 2/2] ACPI / EC: Remove wrong ECDT correction quirks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Our Windows probe result shows that EC._REG is evaluated after evaluating
all _INI/_STA control methods.

With boot EC always switched in acpi_ec_dsdt_probe(), we can see that as
long as there is no EC opregion accesses in the MLC (module level code, AML
code out of any control methods) and in _INI/_STA, there is no need to make
sure that ECDT must be correct.

Bugs of 9399/12461 were reported against an order issue that BAT0/1._STA
evaluations contain EC accesses while the ECDT setting is wrong.

>From the acpidump output posted on bug 9399, we can see that it is actually
a different issue. In this table, if EC._REG is not executed, EC accesses
will be done in a platform specific manner. As we've already ensured not to
execute EC._REG during the eary stage, we can remove the quirks for bug
9399.

>From the acpidump output posted on bug 12461, we can see that it still
needs the quirk. In this table, EC._REG flags a named object whose default
value is One, thus BAT1._STA surely should invoke EC accesses whatever we
invoke EC._REG or not. We have to keep the quirk for it before we can root
cause the issue.
