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.
