[PATCH 2/2] ACPI: EC: Revert "ACPI / EC: Enable event freeze mode..." to fix a regression

From: Lv Zheng
Date: Tue Jul 11 2017 - 23:09:53 EST


On Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon - the 5th Generation, enabling an earlier EC
event freezing timing causes acpitz-virtual-0 to report a stucked 48C
temparature. And with EC firmware revisioned as 1.14, without reverting
back to old EC event freezing timing, the fan still blows up after a system
resume (see comment 168 on link #1).

This reverts the culprit change so that the regression can be fixed without
upgrading the EC firmware.
