ACPI: Make Embedded Controller command timeout delay configurable
Here and then there show up machines which need higher timeout values. Finding this on affected machines can be cumbersome, because ACPI_EC_DELAY is a compile option -> make it configurable via boot param. This can even be provided writable at runtime via: /sys/modules/acpi/parameters/ec_delay Known machines where this helps: Some HP machines where for whatever reasons specific EC accesses take very long at resume from S3 (in _WAK function). The AE_TIME error is passed upwards and the ACPI interpreter will not execute the rest of the _WAK function which results in not properly initialized devices/variables with different side-effects. Afaik, on some MSI machines this helped as well. If this param is needed there probably are underlying problems like: - EC firmware bug - A kernel EC driver bug - An ACPI interpreter behavior (e.g. timings when specific EC accesses happen and how) which the EC does not like - ... which should get evaluated further, but often are nasty or impossible to fix from OS side.
