[PATCH 4.12 133/196] Revert "ACPI / EC: Enable event freeze mode..." to fix a regression

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 9c40f956ce9b331493347d1b3cb7e384f7dc0581 upstream.

On Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon - the 5th Generation, enabling an earlier
EC event freezing timing causes acpitz-virtual-0 to report a stuck
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.

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