PATCH 1/2 ACPI: EC: Rewrite DMI checks

Use dmi_check_system() for DMI matching.
Don't use string "Notebook" for matching MSI hardware.

PATCH 2/2 ACPI: EC: Don't parse DSDT for EC early init on Compal

Compal DSDT breaks if scanned early, while we need early scan for almost all ASUS machines. Safest workaround seems to be to continue do an early scan for all machines, but this Compal model.

Compal DSDT breaks if scanned early, while we need early scan for almost all ASUS machines. Safest workaround seems to be to continue do an early scan for all machines, but this Compal model.

Its not an option, to do a scan without calling _any_ function (even _sta) to locate the EC, and then call _sta on the path ec was found to verify?

Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky

Re: [PATCH 2/2] ACPI: EC: Don't parse DSDT for EC early init on Compal

In reply to Alexey Starikovskiy

i'm not really excited about a DMI workaround, but I'm applying it b/c it addresses the problem at hand.

Hopefully a more permanent fix will emerge over time.

thanks,
Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
