Subject: [PATCH[RFT]] ACPI: EC: s2idle: Avoid flushing EC work when EC GPE is inactive

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Flushing the EC work while suspended to idle when the EC GPE status
is not set causes some EC wakeup events (notably power button and
lid ones) to be missed after a series of spurious wakeups on the Dell
XPS13 9360 in my office.

If that happens, the machine cannot be woken up from suspend-to-idle
by a power button press or lid status change and it needs to be woken
up in some other way (eg. by a key press).

Flushing the EC work only after successful dispatching the EC GPE,
which means that its status has been set, avoids the issue, so change
the code in question accordingly.

Hi Chris,

Please check if the key press wakeup still works on your system with this patch
applied (on top of https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11538065/).

Thanks!
