Lv Zheng 98529b9272 ACPI: EC: Fix regression related to wrong ECDT initialization order
Commit 2a5708409e (ACPI / EC: Fix a gap that ECDT EC cannot handle
EC events) introduced acpi_ec_ecdt_start(), but that function is
invoked before acpi_ec_query_init(), which is too early.  This causes
the kernel to crash if an EC event occurs after boot, when ec_query_wq
is not valid:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000102
 ...
 Workqueue: events acpi_ec_event_handler
 task: ffff9f539790dac0 task.stack: ffffb437c0e10000
 RIP: 0010:__queue_work+0x32/0x430

Normally, the DSDT EC should always be valid, so acpi_ec_ecdt_start()
is actually a no-op in the majority of cases.  However, commit
c712bb58d8 (ACPI / EC: Add support to skip boot stage DSDT probe)
caused the probing of the DSDT EC as the "boot EC" to be skipped when
the ECDT EC is valid and uncovered the bug.

Fix this issue by invoking acpi_ec_ecdt_start() after acpi_ec_query_init()
in acpi_ec_init().

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
