From: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@xxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 79149001105f18bd2285ada109f9229ea24a7571 upstream. It is reported that Samsung laptops that need to poll events are broken by the following commit: Commit 3afcf2ece453e1a8c2c6de19cdf06da3772a1b08 Subject: ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued when SCI_EVT isn't set The behaviors of the 2 vendor firmwares are conflict: 1. Acer: OSPM shouldn't issue QR_EC unless SCI_EVT is set, firmware automatically sets SCI_EVT as long as there is event queued up. 2. Samsung: OSPM should issue QR_EC whatever SCI_EVT is set, firmware returns 0 when there is no event queued up. This patch is a quick fix to distinguish the behaviors to make Acer behavior only effective for Acer EC firmware so that the breakages on Samsung EC firmware can be avoided.
