ACPI: EC: Make the event work state machine visible
The EC driver uses a relatively simple state machine for the event
work handling, but it is not really straightforward to figure out.
The states are as follows:
"Ready": The event handling work can be submitted.
In this state, the EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING flag is clear.
"In progress": The event handling work is pending or is being
processed. It cannot be submitted again.
In ths state, the EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING flag is set and both the
events_to_process count is nonzero and the EC_FLAGS_QUERY_GUARDING
flag is clear.
"Complete": The event handling work has been completed, but it still
cannot be submitted again.
In ths state, the EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING flag is set and the
events_to_process count is zero or the EC_FLAGS_QUERY_GUARDING
flag is set.
The state changes from "Ready" to "In progress" when new event is
detected by advance_transaction() and acpi_ec_submit_event() is
called by it.
Next, the state can change from "In progress" directly to "Ready" in
the following situations:
* ec_event_clearing is ACPI_EC_EVT_TIMING_STATUS and the state of
an ACPI_EC_COMMAND_QUERY transaction becomes ACPI_EC_COMMAND_POLL.
* ec_event_clearing is ACPI_EC_EVT_TIMING_QUERY and the state of
an ACPI_EC_COMMAND_QUERY transaction becomes
ACPI_EC_COMMAND_COMPLETE.
* ec_event_clearing is either ACPI_EC_EVT_TIMING_STATUS or
ACPI_EC_EVT_TIMING_QUERY and there are no more events to
process (ie. ec->events_to_process becomes 0).
If ec_event_clearing is ACPI_EC_EVT_TIMING_EVENT, however, the
state must change from "In progress" to "Complete" before it
can change to "Ready". The changes from "In progress" to
"Complete" in that case occur in the following situations:
* The state of an ACPI_EC_COMMAND_QUERY transaction becomes
ACPI_EC_COMMAND_COMPLETE.
* There are no more events to process (ie. ec->events_to_process
becomes 0).
Finally, the state changes from "Complete" to "Ready" when
advance_transaction() is invoked when the state is "Complete" and
the state of the current transaction is not ACPI_EC_COMMAND_POLL.
To make this state machine visible in the code, add a new
event_state field to struct acpi_ec and modify the code to use
it istead the EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING and EC_FLAGS_QUERY_GUARDING
flags.
