Quirk seems to be required:
1. We do not know the order windows invokes _INI/_STA, there are several possible solutions
   1. EC opregion handler is installed when EC device is enumerated. Before that, just complains errors.
   2. EC opregion access triggers Linux to probe EC device driver.
   We have tried 1, and as I mentioned before, someone reported a regression for the new errors.
   2 also looked scary, as EC._STA may still contain BIOS provided initialization code that cannot be invoked such earlier.
2. Even the above one doesn't matter (for example, 2 is working for all platforms), Linux still don't know the preference of the GPE settings.

Maybe I could help to present some demo code.
Let's file a kernel Bugzilla entry to work on this issue together:

Thanks and best regards
