Subject[PATCH v2] ACPI/EC: Enable storm prevention mechanisms.
Date
This patch enables storm prevention mechanisms. After applying this patch,
when the command/event storms are actually detected, EC driver will be
switched from the IRQ mode to the polling mode.

If regressions are reported against storm prevention support, this patch
can be bisected and reverted before issues can be root caused.

By changing the storm threshold to 0 and stops returning from
advance_transaction() without increasing irq_count on non-error cases, we
can perform unit test for the storm prevention. The result is as follows:

We can see the command is advanced in the task context after enabling the
polling mode (#) and the next command can still be started from the high
performance IRQ mode (*).
