It should be old behavior.  Because, ec gpe will be wrongly disabled in some 
cases.  I think the issue should be fixed in the latest ec patch. Because, ec 
gpe is always be enabled at run-time.

You are right. The change pointed out by your previous mail  was somehow 
dropped in the previous EC driver release. 

Anyway, please make sure the latest ec driver works as expected.
ec_burst=1 is still needed to enable ec murst mode.
