[PATCH] acpi ec_sys: Be more cautious about ec write access

[Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de>]

- Set Kconfig option default n
- Only allow root to read/write io file (sever bug!)
- Introduce write support module param -> default off
- Properly clean up if any debugfs files cannot be created

 	  Say N to disable Embedded Controller /sys/kernel/debug interface

 	  An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads

+	  The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
+	  tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
+	  code being involved.
 	  Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
 	  and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.
