Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] ACPI / EC: Remove non-root-caused busy polling quirks.
We have fixed a lot of race issues in the EC driver recently.
The following commit introduces MSI udelay()/msleep() quirk to MSI laptops
to make EC firmware working for bug 12011 without root causing any EC
driver race issues:
Commit: 5423a0cb3f74c16e90683f8ee1cec6c240a9556e
Subject: ACPI: EC: Add delay for slow MSI controller
Commit: 34ff4dbccccce54c83b1234d39b7ad9e548a75dd
Subject: ACPI: EC: Separate delays for MSI hardware
The following commit extends ECDT validation quirk to MSI laptops to make
EC driver locating EC registers properly for bug 12461:
Commit: a5032bfdd9c80e0231a6324661e123818eb46ecd
Subject: ACPI: EC: Always parse EC device
This is a different quirk than the MSI udelay()/msleep() quirk. This patch
keeps validating ECDT for only "Micro-Star MS-171F" as reported.
The following commit extends MSI udelay()/msleep() quirk to Quanta laptops
to make EC firmware working for bug 20242, there is no requirement to
validate ECDT for Quanta laptops:
Commit: 534bc4e3d27096e2f3fc00c14a20efd597837a4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
Subject: ACPI EC: enable MSI workaround for Quanta laptops
The following commit extends MSI udelay()/msleep() quirk to Clevo laptops
to make EC firmware working for bug 77431, there is no requirement to
validate ECDT for Clevo laptops:
Commit: 777cb382958851c88763253fe00a26529be4c0e9
Subject: ACPI / EC: Add msi quirk for Clevo W350etq
All udelay()/msleep() quirks for MSI/Quanta/Clevo seem to be the wrong
fixes generated without fixing the EC driver race issues.
And even if it is not wrong, the guarding can be covered by the following
commits in wait polling mode:
Commit: 9e295ac14d6a59180beed0735e6a504c2ee87761
Subject: ACPI / EC: Reduce ec_poll() by referencing the last register access timestamp.
Commit: right before this commit
Subject: ACPI / EC: Merge register access guarding logics.
The only case that is not covered is the inter-transaction guarding. And
there is no evidence that we need the inter-transaction guarding upon
reading the noted bug entries.
So it is time to remove the quirks and let the users to try again. If there
is a regression, the only thing we need to do is to restore the
inter-transaction guarding for the reported platforms.
