Pull ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "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)"
