Subject: [PATCH 3/5] ACPI / ACPICA: Avoid writing full enable masks to GPE registers

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

ACPICA uses acpi_hw_write_gpe_enable_reg() to re-enable a GPE after
an event signaled by it has been handled.  However, this function
writes the entire GPE enable mask to the GPE's enable register which
may not be correct.  Namely, if one of the other GPEs in the same
register was previously enabled by acpi_enable_gpe() and subsequently
disabled using acpi_set_gpe(), acpi_hw_write_gpe_enable_reg() will
re-enable it along with the target GPE.

To fix this issue rework acpi_hw_write_gpe_enable_reg() so that it
calls acpi_hw_low_set_gpe() with a special action value,
ACPI_GPE_COND_ENABLE, that will make it only enable the GPE if the
corresponding bit in its register's enable_for_run mask is set.
