From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
If the boot EC comes from the DSDT, its ACPI handle is equal to the
handle of a device object with the PNP0C09 device ID. If that
device object is passed to acpi_ec_add(), it is not necessary to
allocate a new EC structure for it and parse it, because that has
been done already, so change the function to use the fast path in
that case.
