[PATCH v3 2/5] ACPI / EC: Fix an issue that SCI_EVT cannot be detected after event is enabled

From: Lv Zheng
Date: Wed Aug 03 2016 - 04:11:35 EST


After enabling the EC event handling, Linux is still in the noirq stage, if
there is no triggering source (EC transaction, GPE STS status),
advance_transaction() will not be invoked and SCI_EVT cannot be detected.
This patch adds one more triggering source after enabling the EC event
handling to poll the pending SCI_EVT.

Known issues:
1. Still no SCI_EVT triggering source
There could still be no SCI_EVT triggering source after handling the
first SCI_EVT (polled by this patch if any). Because after handling the
first SCI_EVT, Linux could still be in noirq stage and there could still
be no further triggering source in this stage. Then the second SCI_EVT
indicated during this stage still cannot be detected by the EC driver.
With this improvement applied, it is then possible to move
acpi_ec_enable_event() out of the noirq stage to fix this issue (if the
first SCI_EVT is handled out of the noirq stage, the follow-up SCI_EVTs
should be able to trigger IRQs).
