I guess I'm losing my mind, because when I read this code,
there are only two ways out of the while(retry) loop.
Either return with success, or retry is 0.
So how the heck is retry printed as 142?!

did you notice any delay between the last two lines of printout above?

please boot with "acpi_dbg_layer=2" "acpi_dbg_level=0xffffffff"
so that we can see each read and write of the hardware look like.
Success is measured here by looking for SCI_EN being set
to indicate that we successfully entered ACPI mode.

I guess we should see about 142 reads looking for SCI_EN...

It would be interesting if you could boot a windows disk on this box
to see if they are able to get into ACPI mode.  You'd be able to
tell by dumping the interrupt list, looking at the device tree,
or observing if the power button gives immediate poweroff
or does an OS shutdown.
