ACPI / EC: Fix a boot EC regresion by restoring boot EC support for the DSDT EC
According to the Windows probing result, during the table loading, the EC
device described in the ECDT should be used. And the ECDT EC is also
effective during the period the namespace objects are initialized (we can
see a separate process executing _STA/_INI on Windows before executing
other device specific control methods, for example, EC._REG). During the
device enumration, the EC device described in the DSDT should be used. But
there are differences between Linux and Windows around the device probing
order. Thus in Linux, we should enable the DSDT EC as early as possible
before enumerating devices in order not to trigger issues related to the
device enumeration order differences.
This patch thus converts acpi_boot_ec_enable() into acpi_ec_dsdt_probe() to
fix the gap. This also fixes a user reported regression triggered after we
switched the "table loading"/"ECDT support" to be ACPI spec 2.0 compliant.
