Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: EC: Evaluate _REG outside the EC scope more carefully

Commit 60fa6ae6e6d0 ("ACPI: EC: Install address space handler at the
namespace root") caused _REG methods for EC operation regions outside
the EC device scope to be evaluated which on some systems leads to the
evaluation of _REG methods in the scopes of device objects representing
devices that are not present and not functional according to the _STA
return values. Some of those device objects represent EC "alternatives"
and if _REG is evaluated for their operation regions, the platform
firmware may be confused and the platform may start to behave
incorrectly.

To avoid this problem, only evaluate _REG for EC operation regions
located in the scopes of device objects representing known-to-be-present
devices.

For this purpose, partially revert commit 60fa6ae6e6d0 and trigger the
evaluation of _REG for EC operation regions from acpi_bus_attach() for
the known-valid devices.
