Subject: [PATCH 28/85] ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method

From: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@...el.com>

In some BIOSes, every _STA method call will send a notification again,
this cause freeze. And in some BIOSes, it appears _STA should be called
after _DCK. This tries to avoid calls _STA, and still keep the device
present check.
