Zhao Yakui 20edd74fcf ACPI: Ignore AE_NOT_FOUND error of EC _REG method and continue to initialize EC
On some broken BIOS the ACPI object in EC _REG method can't be found in
ACPI namespace, which causes that the status code of AE_NOT_FOUND is returned by
the EC _REG object. In such case the EC device can't be initialized correctly,
which causes that battery/AC adapter can't work normally. As the EC address
space handler is not removed and the memory pointed by its input argument is
already free, sometimes the kernel will also be panic when EC internal register
is still accessed. But the windows can work well on such broken BIOS.

Maybe it will be reasonable that OS ignores the AE_NOT_FOUND error
returned by the EC _REG object and continues to initialize EC device
on some broken BIOS.
For example: the ACPI object in EC _REG method can't be found and status error
code is AE_NOT_FOUND.

lenb: we may find a more general solution to this in the future.
