Commit eb9299beadbd ("ACPI: EC: Use a spin lock without disabing
interrupts") introduced an unexpected user-visible change in
behavior, which is a significant CPU load increase when the EC
is in use.
This most likely happens due to increased spinlock contention
and so reducing this effect would require a major rework of the
EC driver locking. There is no time for this in the current
cycle, so revert commit eb9299beadbd.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
