For some board models ASUS uses the global ACPI lock to guard access to
the hardware, so do we.

There is some type confusion in the above lock functions. Some return
ACPI error codes, some return Linux error codes. Please make return
values consistent.

Also, why use mutex_trylock() instead of mutex_lock() ? This is
unusual since it will result in errors if more than one user
tries to access the data (eg multiple processes reading sysfs
attributes at the same time), and thus warrants a detailed
explanation.

Ok, I must admit I am more than a bit lost. In patch 1/4
you removed this variable (and argued that removing it was
for "deduplication"), only to re-introduce it here.
Sorry, I don't follow the logic.
