<title>ACPI: EC: Fix ECDT probe ordering issues</title>

<id>ab4620f58d38206687b9f99d9d2cc1d5a2640985</id>
<content type='text'>
ACPI-2.0 says that the EC OpRegion handler must be available immediately
(like the standard default OpRegion handlers):

Quoting from the ACPI spec version 6.3: "6.5.4 _REG (Region) ...
2. OSPM must make Embedded Controller operation regions, accessed via
the Embedded Controllers described in ECDT, available before executing
any control method. These operation regions may become inaccessible
after OSPM runs _REG(EmbeddedControl, 0)."

So acpi_bus_init() calls acpi_ec_ecdt_probe(), which calls
acpi_install_address_space_handler() to install the EC's OpRegion
handler, early on.

This not only installs the OpRegion handler, but also calls the EC's
_REG method. The _REG method call is a problem because it may rely on
initialization done by the _INI methods of one of the PCI / _SB root devs,
see for example: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214899 .

Generally speaking _REG methods are executed when the ACPI-device they
are part of has a driver bound to it. Where as _INI methods must be
executed at table load time (according to the spec). The problem here
is that the early acpi_install_address_space_handler() call causes
the _REG handler to run too early.

To allow fixing this the ACPICA code now allows to split the OpRegion
handler installation and the executing of _REG into 2 separate steps.

This commit uses this ACPICA functionality to fix the EC probe ordering
by delaying the executing of _REG for ECDT described ECs till the matching
EC device in the DSDT gets parsed and acpi_ec_add() for it gets called.
This moves the calling of _REG for the EC on devices with an ECDT to
the same point in time where it is called on devices without an ECDT table.

When an ECDT table is present the EC address space handler gets registered
on the root node. So to unregister it properly the unregister call also
must be done on the root node.

Store the ACPI handle used for the acpi_install_address_space_handler()
call and use te same handle for the acpi_remove_address_space_handler()
call.

<title>ACPI: make remove callback of ACPI driver void</title>

<id>6c0eb5ba3500f6da367351ff3c4452c029cb72fa</id>
<content type='text'>
For bus-based driver, device removal is implemented as:
1 device_remove()-&gt;
2   bus-&gt;remove()-&gt;
3     driver-&gt;remove()

Driver core needs no inform from callee(bus driver) about the
result of remove callback. In that case, commit fc7a6209d571
("bus: Make remove callback return void") forces bus_type::remove
be void-returned.

Now we have the situation that both 1 &amp; 2 of calling chain are
void-returned, so it does not make much sense for 3(driver-&gt;remove)
to return non-void to its caller.

So the basic idea behind this change is making remove() callback of
any bus-based driver to be void-returned.

This change, for itself, is for device drivers based on acpi-bus.

Added GPE quirk entry for the HP Pavilion Gaming 15-cx0041ur.
There is a quirk entry for the 15-cx0xxx laptops, but this one has
different DMI_PRODUCT_NAME.

<title>ACPI: EC: Re-use boot_ec when possible even when EC_FLAGS_TRUST_DSDT_GPE is set</title>

EC_FLAGS_TRUST_DSDT_GPE only does anything when the:

	if (boot_ec &amp;&amp; ec-&gt;command_addr == boot_ec-&gt;command_addr &amp;&amp;
	    ec-&gt;data_addr == boot_ec-&gt;data_addr)

conditions are all true. Normally acpi_ec_add() would re-use the boot_ec
struct acpi_ec in this case. But when the EC_FLAGS_TRUST_DSDT_GPE flag was
set the code would continue with a newly allocated (second) struct acpi_ec.

There is no reason to use a second struct acpi_ec if all the above checks
match. Instead just change boot_ec-&gt;gpe to ec-&gt;gpe, when the flag is set,
similar to how this is already one done for boot_ec-&gt;handle.

It seems that these quirks are no longer necessary since
commit 69b957c26b32 ("ACPI: EC: Fix possible issues related to EC
initialization order"), which has fixed this in a generic manner.

There are 3 commits adding DMI entries with this quirk (adding multiple
DMI entries per commit). 2/3 commits are from before the generic fix.

Which leaves commit 6306f0431914 ("ACPI: EC: Make more Asus laptops
use ECDT _GPE"), which was committed way after the generic fix.
But this was just due to slow upstreaming of it. This commit stems
from Endless from 15 Aug 2017 (committed upstream 20 May 2021):
https://github.com/endlessm/linux/pull/288

The current code should work fine without this:

 1. The EC_FLAGS_IGNORE_DSDT_GPE flag is only checked in ec_parse_device(),
    like this:

	if (boot_ec &amp;&amp; boot_ec_is_ecdt &amp;&amp; EC_FLAGS_IGNORE_DSDT_GPE) {
		ec-&gt;gpe = boot_ec-&gt;gpe;
	} else {
		/* parse GPE */
	}

 2. ec_parse_device() is only called from acpi_ec_add() and
    acpi_ec_dsdt_probe()

 3. acpi_ec_dsdt_probe() starts with:

	if (boot_ec)
		return;

    so it only calls ec_parse_device() when boot_ec == NULL, meaning that
    the quirk never triggers for this call. So only the call in
    acpi_ec_add() matters.

 4. acpi_ec_add() does the following after the ec_parse_device() call:

	if (boot_ec &amp;&amp; ec-&gt;command_addr == boot_ec-&gt;command_addr &amp;&amp;
	    ec-&gt;data_addr == boot_ec-&gt;data_addr &amp;&amp;
	    !EC_FLAGS_TRUST_DSDT_GPE) {
		/*
		 * Trust PNP0C09 namespace location rather than
		 * ECDT ID. But trust ECDT GPE rather than _GPE
		 * because of ASUS quirks, so do not change
		 * boot_ec-&gt;gpe to ec-&gt;gpe.
		 */
		boot_ec-&gt;handle = ec-&gt;handle;
		acpi_handle_debug(ec-&gt;handle, "duplicated.\n");
		acpi_ec_free(ec);
		ec = boot_ec;
	}

The quirk only matters if boot_ec != NULL and EC_FLAGS_TRUST_DSDT_GPE
is never set at the same time as EC_FLAGS_IGNORE_DSDT_GPE.

That means that if the addresses match we always enter this if block and
then only the ec-&gt;handle part of the data stored in ec by ec_parse_device()
is used and the rest is thrown away, after which ec is made to point
to boot_ec, at which point ec-&gt;gpe == boot_ec-&gt;gpe, so the same result
as with the quirk set, independent of the value of the quirk.

Also note the comment in this block which indicates that the gpe result
from ec_parse_device() is deliberately not taken to deal with buggy
Asus laptops and all DMI quirks setting EC_FLAGS_IGNORE_DSDT_GPE are for
Asus laptops.

Based on the above I believe that unless on some quirked laptops
the ECDT and DSDT EC addresses do not match we can drop the quirk.

I've checked dmesg output to ensure the ECDT and DSDT EC addresses match
for quirked models using https://linux-hardware.org hw-probe reports.

I've been able to confirm that the addresses match for the following
models this way: GL702VMK, X505BA, X505BP, X550VXK, X580VD.
Whereas for the following models I could find any dmesg output:
FX502VD, FX502VE, X542BA, X542BP.

Note the models without dmesg all were submitted in patches with a batch
of models and other models from the same batch checkout ok.

This, combined with that all the code adding the quirks was written before
the generic fix makes me believe that it is safe to remove this quirk now.
