After discussing the patch with Alex I have a new version which is appended
below. This one causes EC transactions to be discarded after we've executed
_PTS (which is reasonable IMO) and allows them to happen again very early
during wake-up, so effectively the resume behavior should be unchanged.

Subject: ACPI / EC: Remove race between EC driver and suspend process (rev. 2)

There is a race between the suspend process and the EC driver that
may result in suspending in the middle of an EC transaction in
progress, which in turn may lead to unpredictable behavior of the
platform.

To remove that race condition, add a helper for suspending EC
transactions in a safe way to be executed by the ACPI platform
suspend/hibernate callbacks. Modify these callbacks so that the EC
transactions are suspended right after executing the _PTS global
control method and are allowed to happen right after the low-level
wake-up.
