[PATCH] Fix ACPI's EC regression from 2.6.29: use usleep() insteadof msleep()

From: Karol Lewandowski
Date: Mon Sep 07 2009 - 17:14:34 EST


Hello,

Following patch reverts commit that changed usleep() to mleep()
in ACPI's EC driver. That change made hotkeys on my Thinkpad T21
unusable after resume.

This time, it's regression from 2.6.29 (it was repeadly broken and
fixed in older kernels too).
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11674 for reference.

I've tested this patch with 2.6.31-rc9 -- hotkeys work again.

Please consider applying this to 2.6.31-tree and maybe 2.6.30-stable
as well.


Thanks.

Revert "ACPI: EC: Separate delays for MSI hardware"

This reverts commit 34ff4dbccccce54c83b1234d39b7ad9e548a75dd.

Revert timeout to old value (larger than spec requires[*]) instead
of using vendor-dependent delays.

Without this revert my Thinkpad T21 stops generating hotkey events
after resume (with 2.6.31-rc9). See bug #11674 for reference.

[*] ACPI spec at http://www.acpi.info/DOWNLOADS/ACPIspec30b.pdf
page 386, "Burst Enable Embedded Controller" defines EC's
response timeout as =< 50us.
