acpi_hotplug_notify_cb() calls acpi_os_hotplug_execute() to schedule to
run acpi_scan_device_check() asynchronously and returns immediately.
This leads acpi_ev_asynch_enable_gpe() to run next, which clears this
GPE (if level triggered) and re-enable GPE.

It appears that re-enabling GPE caused this GPE to show up again as a
spurious interrupt.

In the original code, container_notify_cb() proceeds the device check
handling and then calls _OST on the same thread.  It then re-enable GPE.
This ordering seems to avoid the spurious interrupt on your platform.

The GPE handler code in ACPICA is the same.  So, the issue could be due
to either;
 - The firmware expects _OST before re-enabling GPE, or
 - The timing of re-enabling GPE was too soon on your platform.

Can you check with your firmware team to see if this might be the case?
