    ACPI / SBS: Fix GPE storm on recent MacBookPro's · ca1721c5
    R T authored
    On Apple machines, plugging-in or unplugging the power triggers a GPE
    for the EC. Since these machines expose an SBS device, this GPE ends
    up triggering the acpi_sbs_callback(). This in turn tries to get the
    status of the SBS charger. However, on MBP13,* and MBP14,* machines,
    performing the smbus-read operation to get the charger's status triggers
    the EC's GPE again. The result is an endless re-triggering and handling
    of that GPE, consuming significant CPU resources (> 50% in irq).
    
    In the end this is quite similar to commit 3031cdde (ACPI / SBS:
    Don't assume the existence of an SBS charger), except that on the above
    machines a status of all 1's is returned. And like there, we just want
    ignore the charger here.
