Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / EC: Fix EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE platforms using new
 event clearing timing.

It is reported that on several platforms, EC firmware will not respond
non-expected QR_EC (see EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE, only write QR_EC when
SCI_EVT is set).

Unfortunately, ACPI specification doesn't define when the SCI_EVT should be
cleared by the firmware, thus the original implementation queued up second
QR_EC right after writing QR_EC command and before reading the returned
event value as at that time the SCI_EVT is ensured not cleared. This
behavior is also based on the assumption that the firmware should be able
to return 0x00 to indicate "no outstanding event". This behavior did fix
issues on Samsung platforms where the spurious query value of 0x00 is
supported and didn't break platforms in my test queue.

But recently, specific Acer, Asus, Lenovo platforms keep on blaming this
change.

This patch changes the behavior to re-check the SCI_EVT a bit later and
removes EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE quirks, hoping this is the Windows
compliant EC driver behavior.

In order to be robust to the possible regressions, instead of removing the
quirk directly, this patch keeps the quirk code, removes the quirk users
and keeps old behavior for Samsung platforms.
