d0420d20bacd1eef9f75a769ad48befd383ad190

Merge branches 'acpica-fixes' and 'acpi-ec-fixes'

on top of commit 92d21ac74a9e3c09b0b01c764e530657e4c85c49

Linux 4.7-rc7

One ACPI EC driver regression fix (code ordering) and three reverts
of ACPICA commits, one that introduced a problem and two unsuccessful
attempted fixes on top of it.

Specifics:

- Fix a recent regression in the ACPI EC driver introduced by a fix
of another problem that uncovered a latent code ordering issue in
the driver (Lv Zheng).

- Revert a recent ACPICA commit that attempted to address a lock
ordering issue introduced by a previous fix, but caused Dell
Precision 5510 to fail to boot, revert that previous fix too and
finally revert the commit that caused the original problem (a
deadlock in the ACPICA code) to happen (Rafael Wysocki).

Thanks!
