Lv Zheng ef87162a31 ACPI / EC: Fix regression due to conflicting firmware behavior between Samsung and Acer.
commit 7914900110 upstream.

It is reported that Samsung laptops that need to poll events are broken by
the following commit:
 Commit 3afcf2ece4
 Subject: ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued when SCI_EVT isn't set

The behaviors of the 2 vendor firmwares are conflict:
 1. Acer: OSPM shouldn't issue QR_EC unless SCI_EVT is set, firmware
         automatically sets SCI_EVT as long as there is event queued up.
 2. Samsung: OSPM should issue QR_EC whatever SCI_EVT is set, firmware
            returns 0 when there is no event queued up.

This patch is a quick fix to distinguish the behaviors to make Acer
behavior only effective for Acer EC firmware so that the breakages on
Samsung EC firmware can be avoided.

Fixes: 3afcf2ece4 (ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued ...)
