Added GPE quirk entry for the HP Pavilion Gaming 15-dk1xxx.
There is a quirk entry for 2 15-c..... laptops, this is
for a new version which has 15-dk1xxx as identifier.

This fixes the LID switch and rfkill and brightness hotkeys
not working.

Commit 896e97bf99ec ("ACPI: EC: Clear GPE on interrupt handling only")
broke suspend-to-idle at least on Dell XPS13 9360 and 9380.

The problem is that acpi_ec_dispatch_gpe() must clear the EC GPE,
because the EC GPE handler never runs when the system is in the
suspend-to-idle state and if the EC GPE is not cleared by the suspend-
to-idle loop, it is never cleared at all which leads to a GPE storm.
This causes suspend-to-idle to burn energy instead of saving it which
is potentially dangerous (the affected machines heat up rather badly
when that happens).

Addess this by making acpi_ec_dispatch_gpe() clear the EC GPE as it did
before.

On multiple devices I work on, we noticed that
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/sci_not is non-zero and keeps increasing
over time.

It turns out that there is a race condition between servicing a GPE
interrupt and handling task driven transactions.

If a GPE interrupt is received at the same time ec_poll() is running,
the advance_transaction() clears the GPE flag and the interrupt is not
serviced as acpi_ev_detect_gpe() relies on the GPE flag to call the
handler. As a result, `sci_not' is increased.

To address this, move the GPE status check and clearing from
advance_transaction() directly into acpi_ec_handle_interrupt(), so the
EC GPE only gets cleared in the interrupt handling path.

When removing custom query handlers, the handler might still
be used inside the EC query workqueue, causing a kernel oops
if the module holding the callback function was already unloaded.

Fix this by flushing the EC query workqueue when removing
custom query handlers.

<title>ACPI: EC: Limit explicit removal of query handlers to custom query handlers</title>

According to the ACPI spec part 5.6.4.1.2, EC query handlers discovered
thru ACPI should not be removed when a driver removes his custom query
handler. On the Acer Travelmate 4002WLMi for example, such a query
handler is used as a fallback to handle the EC SMBus alert when no driver
is present.
Change acpi_ec_remove_query_handlers() so that only custom query
handlers are removed then remove_all is false. Query handlers discovered
thru ACPI will still get removed when remove_all is true, which happens
on device removal. Also add a simple check to ensure that
acpi_ec_add_query_handler() is always called with either handle or func
being set, since custom query handlers are detected based whether
handlers-&gt;func is set or not.

<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.

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.
