This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ACPI / EC: Fix regression due to conflicting firmware behavior between Samsung and Acer. to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt1. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 1e1191b51b95158b5be38e745ba57390a26378e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com> Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2014 11:33:49 +0800 Subject: ACPI / EC: Fix regression due to conflicting firmware behavior between Samsung and Acer. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 79149001105f18bd2285ada109f9229ea24a7571 upstream. It is reported that Samsung laptops that need to poll events are broken by the following commit: Commit 3afcf2ece453e1a8c2c6de19cdf06da3772a1b08 Subject: ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued when SCI_EVT isn't set The behaviors of the 2 vendor firmwares are conflict: 1. Acer: OSPM shouldn't issue QR_EC unless SCI_EVT is set, firmware automatically sets SCI_EVT as long as there is event queued up. 2. Samsung: OSPM should issue QR_EC whatever SCI_EVT is set, firmware returns 0 when there is no event queued up. This patch is a quick fix to distinguish the behaviors to make Acer behavior only effective for Acer EC firmware so that the breakages on Samsung EC firmware can be avoided.
