Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in the ACPI EC driver.

strcpy() has been deprecated because it is generally unsafe, so it
is better to eliminate it from the kernel source.

<title>ACPI: EC: Evaluate _REG outside the EC scope more carefully</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 60fa6ae6e6d0 ("ACPI: EC: Install address space handler at the
namespace root") caused _REG methods for EC operation regions outside
the EC device scope to be evaluated which on some systems leads to the
evaluation of _REG methods in the scopes of device objects representing
devices that are not present and not functional according to the _STA
return values. Some of those device objects represent EC "alternatives"
and if _REG is evaluated for their operation regions, the platform
firmware may be confused and the platform may start to behave
incorrectly.

To avoid this problem, only evaluate _REG for EC operation regions
located in the scopes of device objects representing known-to-be-present
devices.

For this purpose, partially revert commit 60fa6ae6e6d0 and trigger the
evaluation of _REG for EC operation regions from acpi_bus_attach() for
the known-valid devices.

<title>ACPI: EC: Do not release locks during operation region accesses</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dc171114926ec390ab90f46534545420ec03e458</id>
<content type='text'>
It is not particularly useful to release locks (the EC mutex and the
ACPI global lock, if present) and re-acquire them immediately thereafter
during EC address space accesses in acpi_ec_space_handler().

First, releasing them for a while before grabbing them again does not
really help anyone because there may not be enough time for another
thread to acquire them.

Second, if another thread successfully acquires them and carries out
a new EC write or read in the middle if an operation region access in
progress, it may confuse the EC firmware, especially after the burst
mode has been enabled.

Finally, manipulating the locks after writing or reading every single
byte of data is overhead that it is better to avoid.

Accordingly, modify the code to carry out EC address space accesses
entirely without releasing the locks.

<content type='text'>
After starting to install the EC address space handler at the ACPI
namespace root, if there is an "orphan" _REG method in the EC device's
scope, it will not be evaluated any more.  This breaks EC operation
regions on some systems, like Asus gu605.

To address this, use a wrapper around an existing ACPICA function to
look for an "orphan" _REG method in the EC device scope and evaluate
it if present.

<title>ACPI: EC: Avoid returning AE_OK on errors in address space handler</title>

<content type='text'>
If an error code other than EINVAL, ENODEV or ETIME is returned
by acpi_ec_read() / acpi_ec_write(), then AE_OK is incorrectly
returned by acpi_ec_space_handler().

Fix this by only returning AE_OK on success, and return AE_ERROR
otherwise.

When a multi-byte address space access is requested, acpi_ec_read()/
acpi_ec_write() is being called multiple times.

Abort such operations if a single call to acpi_ec_read() /
acpi_ec_write() fails, as the data read from / written to the EC
might be incomplete.

<id>urn:sha1:60fa6ae6e6d09e377fce6f8d9b6f6a4d88769f63</id>
<content type='text'>
It is reported that _DSM evaluation fails in ucsi_acpi_dsm() on Lenovo
IdeaPad Pro 5 due to a missing address space handler for the EC address
space:

 ACPI Error: No handler for Region [ECSI] (000000007b8176ee) [EmbeddedControl] (20230628/evregion-130)

This happens because if there is no ECDT, the EC driver only registers
the EC address space handler for operation regions defined in the EC
device scope of the ACPI namespace while the operation region being
accessed by the _DSM in question is located beyond that scope.

To address this, modify the ACPI EC driver to install the EC address
space handler at the root of the ACPI namespace for the first EC that
can be found regardless of whether or not an ECDT is present.

Note that this change is consistent with some examples in the ACPI
specification in which EC operation regions located outside the EC
device scope are used (for example, see Section 9.17.15 in ACPI 6.5),
so the current behavior of the EC driver is arguably questionable.
