From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Since acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() is called when boot_ec is not set, it doesn't neeed to take the other possibility into account. Accordingly, it only needs to set the handle field in the ec object to ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT, call acpi_ec_setup() and (if that is successful) set boot_ec to ec and boot_ec_is_ecdt to 'true'. Make it do so directly, without calling acpi_config_boot_ec(), and avoid some pointless checks in the latter. No intentional functional impact except for a changed message. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
