TL;DR: this change made me wonder about a possible issue, but all is
fine, except that the code flow leading to "fine" is a bit convoluted.

I noticed this landing in Linus' tree and this got me thinking about
if the "if (scope_handle != ec->handle)" would not cause the orphan
_REG method to not get called for the case where the EC is created
by parsing the ECDT early on, since then we set
ec->handle = ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT for the ec object.

So I checked and acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() calls acpi_ec_setup(ec, NULL, false)
with the false making call_reg above false, so the _REG methods do not
get executed at this point.

Instead they should get executed when parsing the DSDT finds the EC ACPI
device by acpi_ec_add() calling acpi_ec_setup(ec, device, true).

acpi_ec_add() updated ec->handle away from ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT to the actual
acpi_device's handle before calling acpi_ec_setup(ec, device, true) so
all should be well.

But while checkimg this I noticed a pre-existing issue where if the boot_ec
object is created from the ECDT, so with ec->handle == NULL, acpi_ec_add()
does not update ec->handle, which means an orphan _REG method will not get
executed.

Specifically if this if condition evaluated to true, because the !strcmp()
evaluates to true:

        if (boot_ec && (boot_ec->handle == device->handle ||
            !strcmp(acpi_device_hid(device), ACPI_ECDT_HID))) {
                /* Fast path: this device corresponds to the boot EC. */
                ec = boot_ec;
        } else {

then [boot_]ec->handle does not get set to device->handle .

So at a first glance it looks like we need something like this to make sure
that any orphan _REG methods are also run in the described scenario:

diff --git a/drivers/acpi/ec.c b/drivers/acpi/ec.c
index e7793ee9e649..af61b9bb3749 100644
--- a/drivers/acpi/ec.c
+++ b/drivers/acpi/ec.c
@@ -1635,6 +1635,7 @@ static int acpi_ec_add(struct acpi_device *device)
 	    !strcmp(acpi_device_hid(device), ACPI_ECDT_HID))) {
 		/* Fast path: this device corresponds to the boot EC. */
 		ec = boot_ec;
+		ec->handle = device->handle;
 	} else {
 		acpi_status status;
 


But upon further checking the only place creating an acpi_device
with an ACPI_ECDT_HID is acpi_ec_ecdt_start() which does:

        status = acpi_get_handle(NULL, ecdt_ptr->id, &handle);
        if (ACPI_SUCCESS(status)) {
                boot_ec->handle = handle;

                /* Add a special ACPI device object to represent the boot EC. */
                acpi_bus_register_early_device(ACPI_BUS_TYPE_ECDT_EC);
        }

So boot_ec->handle gets updated in this case before acpi_ec_add() runs
and everything is fine.

...

Still I'm wondering if it would not be better to replace this
"boot_ec->handle = handle;" in acpi_ec_ecdt_start() with the change
from my proposed diff above, so that we consistently about the
[boot_]ec->handle with device->handle for the being added acpi_device
in both branches of the if ... else ... in acpi_ec_add() ?

Hans
