on top of commit 92d21ac74a9e3c09b0b01c764e530657e4c85c49

 Linux 4.7-rc7

One ACPI EC driver regression fix (code ordering) and three reverts
of ACPICA commits, one that introduced a problem and two unsuccessful
attempted fixes on top of it.

Specifics:

 - Fix a recent regression in the ACPI EC driver introduced by a fix
   of another problem that uncovered a latent code ordering issue in
   the driver (Lv Zheng).

 - Revert a recent ACPICA commit that attempted to address a lock
   ordering issue introduced by a previous fix, but caused Dell
   Precision 5510 to fail to boot, revert that previous fix too and
   finally revert the commit that caused the original problem (a
   deadlock in the ACPICA code) to happen (Rafael Wysocki).

Thanks!
