ACPI / EC: Fix EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE platforms using new event clearing timing. It is reported that on several platforms, EC firmware will not respond non-expected QR_EC (see EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE, only write QR_EC when SCI_EVT is set). Unfortunately, ACPI specification doesn't define when the SCI_EVT should be cleared by the firmware, thus the original implementation queued up second QR_EC right after writing QR_EC command and before reading the returned event value as at that time the SCI_EVT is ensured not cleared. This behavior is also based on the assumption that the firmware should be able to return 0x00 to indicate "no outstanding event". This behavior did fix issues on Samsung platforms where the spurious query value of 0x00 is supported and didn't break platforms in my test queue. But recently, specific Acer, Asus, Lenovo platforms keep on blaming this change. This patch changes the behavior to re-check the SCI_EVT a bit later and removes EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE quirks, hoping this is the Windows compliant EC driver behavior. In order to be robust to the possible regressions, instead of removing the quirk directly, this patch keeps the quirk code, removes the quirk users and keeps old behavior for Samsung platforms.
