The ec driver is a special case of a GPE going directly to a driver rather than being handled by the ACPI core. > 3.

If Notify() was called, second-level ACPI driver (e.g. battery.c, > thermal.c, ...) gets event and handles it accordingly. That's all correct. > If that's correct so far, couldn't I just print the EC event code in > acpi_ec_sync_query and see what it's spitting out on hotkey press?
