[ Upstream commit dc171114926ec390ab90f46534545420ec03e458 ] It is not particularly useful to release locks (the EC mutex and the ACPI global lock, if present) and re-acquire them immediately thereafter during EC address space accesses in acpi_ec_space_handler(). First, releasing them for a while before grabbing them again does not really help anyone because there may not be enough time for another thread to acquire them. Second, if another thread successfully acquires them and carries out a new EC write or read in the middle if an operation region access in progress, it may confuse the EC firmware, especially after the burst mode has been enabled. Finally, manipulating the locks after writing or reading every single byte of data is overhead that it is better to avoid. Accordingly, modify the code to carry out EC address space accesses entirely without releasing the locks. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
