[Can you please append patches instead of or apart from attaching them?
That would make it easier to comment them.]

if (!wait_event_timeout(ec->wait, ec_check_ibf0(ec),
-                               msecs_to_jiffies(ACPI_EC_DELAY))) {
+                               msecs_to_jiffies(ACPI_EC_DELAY)) &&
+           !ec_check_ibf0(ec)) {

Shouldn't this go under the spinlock?  Surely it can race with the GPE handler.

                pr_err(PREFIX "input buffer is not empty, "
                                "aborting transaction\n");
