[PATCH] ACPI: EC: Add quirk for Lenovo Yoga S740-14IIL

[PATCH] ACPI: EC: Add quirk for Lenovo Yoga S740-14IIL

[Amir Sabbaghi]

On the Lenovo Yoga S740-14IIL (81RS, BIOS BYCN29WW), the ECDT
advertises GPE 0x6E for the embedded controller, but the EC is
actually wired to GPE 0x43, which is what the DSDT EC0 device's
_GPE method returns. Since the ECDT and DSDT EC share the same
command/data ports (0x66/0x62), acpi_ec_add() keeps the ECDT GPE,
so no EC events are ever handled:

  ACPI: EC: GPE=0x6e

  /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe6E:  0  EN  enabled   unmasked
  /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe43:  0  EN STS invalid unmasked

GPE 0x6E never fires, while GPE 0x43 is left enabled with its status
bit set and no handler, so each SCI it raises is counted in sci_not
(about 7/s, 1.4 million over 55 hours of uptime). As a result, EC
query events are lost: the brightness hotkeys and several other Fn
hotkeys produce no input events at all, and battery/AC notifications/
laptop lid event are not delivered.

Add the machine to ec_dmi_table so that the DSDT GPE is used.

Tested by overriding the ECDT through the initrd with a copy whose
GPE was changed from 0x6E to 0x43, and later by applying this patch
and removing the override. With the fix the kernel reports
"ACPI: EC: GPE=0x43", gpe43 receives events, sci_not stays at 0,
and the brightness and other Fn hotkeys work.

Applied as 7.5 material, thanks!
