From: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@xxxxxxxxx> Previously we have report that during system bootup, the EC command was running too slow because the EC GPE has not been enabled yet (For example, _REG tries to access the EC operation region, while the EC GPE has not been enabled at that stage). Actually we can optimize this scenario by using busy polling mode if GPE is disabled, which is much faster than the default behavior.
