This patchset contains 3 cleanups related to the EC driver:So this is on top of the EC patches you sent previously, right?
1. Command flushing (command grace period)
This patchset flushes EC commands before suspending/resuming, so that
there won't be timeout for the incomplete commands after resuming.
2. Query flushing (query grace period)
This patchset flushes EC event queries before suspending/resuming, so
that there won't be broken events remained in the firmware queue.
3. Command storming prevention
This patchset corrects command storming prevention logic because of
the GPE raw handler mode.
The request reference count debugging messages can be used to detect broken
EC transactions. It should always drop to 1 when the driver is idle during
the runtime.
Note that after flushing before suspending, EC GPE is still enabled to keep
the old behavior.
