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: 5423a0cb3f
Subject: ACPI: EC: Add delay for slow MSI controller
Commit: 34ff4dbccc
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: a5032bfdd9
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: 534bc4e3d2 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: 777cb38295
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: 9e295ac14d
Subject: ACPI / EC: Reduce ec_poll() by referencing the last register access timestamp.
Commit: commit in the same series
Subject: ACPI / EC: Fix and clean up 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.
