Subject: [PATCH 3.2 35/94] ACPI / EC: Remove duplicated ec_wait_ibf0() waiter

3.2.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@...el.com>

commit 9b80f0f73ae1583c22325ede341c74195847618c upstream.

After we've added the first command byte write into advance_transaction(),
the IBF=0 waiter is duplicated with the command completion waiter
implemented in the ec_poll() because:
   If IBF=1 blocked the first command byte write invoked in the task
   context ec_poll(), it would be kicked off upon IBF=0 interrupt or timed
   out and retried again in the task context.

Remove this seperate and duplicate IBF=0 waiter.  By doing so we can
reduce the overall number of times to access the EC_SC(R) status
register.
